Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Alright, let’s gather our goodies! Here’s what you’ll need to make these amazing Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. I like to get everything prepped and ready to go before I start cooking – it keeps things moving!

1 pound cooked and shredded chicken breast – Rotisserie chicken works great!
4 cloves garlic, minced – Don’t skimp on the garlic, it’s the star!
1/4 cup mayonnaise – Adds creaminess and helps bind everything together.
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese – For that classic cheesy flavor.

4 large tortillas – I prefer flour tortillas, but use your fave!

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps: Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, listen up, ’cause this is where the magic happens! Making these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps is seriously a breeze. Just follow these super-simple steps, and you’ll be chowing down in no time. Promise!

In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, minced garlic, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Seriously, just dump it all in there! Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty to really mix it all up. Tip: Taste and adjust! Need more garlic? Go for it! A little extra cheese never hurt anyone either, right?
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You’ll want to give the pan a little time to heat up before adding your wraps; that ensures they get nice and golden brown. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan! Work in batches if needed.
Place a tortilla in the skillet and spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture on top. Make sure the mixture is spread evenly across the tortilla, from edge to edge – nobody wants a sad, empty bite! Careful: Don’t overfill! Too much filling, and you’ll have a cheesy mess on your hands.
Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn! Tip: Gently press down on the wrap with a spatula to help the cheese melt faster. Seriously, the sound of that cheese melting? *Chef’s kiss*.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. You’ll get the hang of it after the first one, I promise! Each Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wrap can be even better!
Serve immediately. These are best served hot and melty, so don’t wait! I like to cut them in half for easier eating. Serve them and watch them disappear!

Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Want to take your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps from good to *amazing*? Trust me, follow these tips, and you’ll be a wrap-making pro in no time!

Don’t be afraid of the garlic! Seriously, the garlic is what makes these wraps sing! Use fresh garlic and don’t skimp.
Cheese, cheese, and more cheese, but don’t overfill! A good melty blend is key, but too much filling makes for a messy wrap.
Medium heat is your friend. Cooking the wraps over too high of heat will burn the tortilla before the cheese melts. Low and slow wins the race!
Use pre-cooked chicken. This recipe is all about speed, so rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken is your best bet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Got questions about these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps? Don’t worry, I’ve got answers! Here are some of the most common questions I get asked about this recipe – hopefully, they’ll help you whip up the perfect wraps every time!

Can I use different types of tortillas?

Absolutely! While I usually go for large flour tortillas, feel free to experiment! Whole wheat tortillas add a nutty flavor, and corn tortillas are a great gluten-free option. Just be aware that corn tortillas can be a little more fragile, so be gentle when folding. No one wants a broken wrap!

What if I don’t have shredded chicken?

No problem! You can use diced chicken breast, leftover baked chicken, or even canned chicken in a pinch. Just make sure it’s cooked through and drained well. Hey, sometimes you gotta work with what you’ve got, right?

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You sure can! I often prep the chicken mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Then, when lunchtime (or dinnertime!) rolls around, I just assemble and cook the wraps. It’s a huge time-saver! I don’t recommend cooking the whole wrap in advance though – they taste best fresh and melty!

What’s the best way to reheat leftover wraps?

My favorite way to reheat these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps is in a skillet over medium-low heat. It crisps up the tortilla and melts the cheese perfectly! The microwave works too if you’re in a hurry, but the tortilla might get a little soggy. Just sayin’!

Can I freeze these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps?

I wouldn’t recommend freezing fully assembled cooked Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps since the texture of the tortilla can change when defrosted and reheated. It’s always a good idea to eat them fresh!
