How to make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Ingredients :
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions :
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss so the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay the tortillas flat. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly divide the cooked chicken across the tortillas. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella.

Simple serving ideas for these wraps
Serve them warm and cut in half. They go well with a small side salad, carrot sticks, or a cup of tomato soup. A little extra garlic sauce on the side is nice for dipping.
How to store leftover wraps
- Fridge: Cool the wraps, wrap tightly in foil or place in an airtight container, and store up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet for a few minutes per side or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Avoid microwaving too long or the tortilla becomes soggy.
Smart tips for the best results
- Cut chicken into even pieces so it cooks evenly.
- Don’t overfill the tortillas; less makes grilling easier.
- Use pre-shredded cheese for speed, or grate fresh for better melting.
- For a crispier wrap, press gently while grilling.
