Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and dried Italian herbs, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Combine the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken and cheese, stirring to ensure everything is well coated.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken filling in the center of the tortilla. If using, add a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens on top. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.

Step 4: Cook the Wraps

In a skillet over medium heat, lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut them in half and serve with your choice of dipping sauces like sour cream, salsa, or ranch dressing.

Tips and Recipe Variations

  • Chicken Options: Use any cooked chicken you have on hand, such as grilled, baked, or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Cheese Choices: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick or gouda for a smoky flavor.
  • Vegetable Add-ins: Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the chicken mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Make It Spicy: Mix in some diced jalapeños or your favorite hot sauce for a bit of heat.
  • Wrap It Up: Try using different types of tortillas, such as spinach or whole wheat, for a twist.

How to Store Leftovers

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but they may lose some crispiness.


Pairing Suggestions

Enhance your meal with these delicious sides:

  • Crispy Salad: A fresh garden salad drizzled with a light vinaigrette complements the wraps perfectly.
  • Sweet Potato Fries: Oven-baked sweet potato fries make a great side that pairs wonderfully with the cheesy flavors of the wraps.
  • Fruit Salad: A light fruit salad adds a refreshing contrast to the savory wraps.
