Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great!)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Prepare the Filling – In a bowl, I mix the shredded chicken with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. I season it with salt and pepper and toss everything together.

Make the Garlic Butter – In a small pan, I melt the butter over medium heat. Then, I add the minced garlic and sauté it until fragrant, about a minute. I stir in Italian seasoning and remove it from the heat.

Assemble the Wraps – I lay a tortilla flat and brush one side lightly with the garlic butter. I place ¼ of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center, then fold in the sides and roll it tightly. I repeat this for all tortillas.

Cook the Wraps – In a skillet over medium heat, I cook the wraps seam-side down for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. I brush the outside with more garlic butter for extra flavor.

Serve – I remove the wraps from the pan, let them cool slightly, then slice them in half. I like to garnish with fresh parsley and serve them warm with a dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.

Variations

Spicy Kick – I add a dash of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wraps for some heat.

BBQ Flavor – I mix the chicken with a little BBQ sauce before wrapping for a smoky-sweet taste.

Different Cheeses – Instead of mozzarella and cheddar, I sometimes use pepper jack, provolone, or Swiss.

Extra Veggies – I throw in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted red peppers for added texture and flavor.

Crispier Wraps – I air-fry the wraps at 375°F for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway for an extra crispy bite.

Storage/Reheating

Storage – I store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating – I reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to crisp them up. If I’m in a hurry, I microwave them for about 30 seconds, but they won’t be as crispy.

Freezing – I wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 2 months. I reheat them straight from frozen in a skillet or air fryer.

FAQs

How can I make these wraps even crispier?

I recommend using a little more garlic butter on the outside and cooking them on a slightly higher heat to get a deep golden-brown crust.

Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Yes! Whole wheat, spinach, or low-carb tortillas all work great in this recipe.

What dipping sauces go best with these wraps?

I love serving them with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or even buffalo sauce for extra flavor.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes! I assemble them in advance, store them in the fridge, and cook them fresh when I’m ready to eat.

Is there a way to make this recipe healthier?

I use whole wheat tortillas, low-fat cheese, and a little less butter to cut down on calories while keeping all the flavor.

Conclusion

These cheesy garlic chicken wraps are a simple yet satisfying meal that’s perfect for busy days. They’re packed with flavor, easy to customize, and come together in no time. Whether I make them for lunch, dinner, or even a quick snack, they’re always a hit. I love experimenting with different flavors and dipping sauces to keep things interesting. Try them once, and they’ll become a go-to favorite.
