These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are not only bursting with flavor, but they also come together quickly, making them perfect for busy weeknights or a weekend family gathering.

Nutritional Benefits
These wraps are not just delicious—they have some great nutritional perks too! Chicken is a fantastic source of lean protein, perfect for keeping you feeling full and satisfied. Adding garlic not only enhances the flavor but also packs a punch of health benefits, like boosting your immune system and having anti-inflammatory properties. And let’s not forget the veggies! Wrapping them up in a tortilla helps you sneak in more nutrients without even noticing. It’s a win-win!
Fun and Flexible Variations
- Different Proteins: Don’t have chicken? No problem! You can use turkey, grilled shrimp, or even black beans for a vegetarian twist.
- Wrap It Up Your Way: Swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat, spinach, or even corn tortillas to cater to your dietary preferences.
- Add More Veggies: Feel free to load up on any veggies you like! Bell peppers, spinach, and cucumbers all work fabulously.
- Spice It Up: If you’re a heat lover, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to give it an extra kick!
Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wrap Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing, or hot sauce
Instructions
- First, in a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant—oh, the smell will be amazing!
- Add the cooked, shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until the chicken is heated through.
- Now, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the chicken mixture. Allow the cheese to melt, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes.
- Once everything is melted and gooey, take it off the heat! Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
- Scoop an even amount of the cheesy chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top with any extras you love, like lettuce or tomato.
- Now fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Voila! Wraps are ready!
- For an added touch, heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet and toast each wrap on both sides until golden brown. This step is optional, but it adds an extra layer of deliciousness!
Practical & Valuable Tips
- Want to save time? You can use rotisserie chicken to skip the cooking step. Just shred and mix it with garlic and cheese!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet.
- If you need a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas or lettuce leaves for a fresh wrap!
