Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

 


Ingredients (Makes 4 wraps):

For the Chicken & Cheese Filling:

480g (1 lb) cooked chicken breast , shredded or diced (rotisserie works well)

110g (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese for plant-based version)

60g (½ cup) cheddar cheese , shredded

20g (¼ cup) Parmesan cheese , grated (or nutritional yeast for dairy-free)

For the Garlic Butter:

45g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter , melted (or olive oil for lighter option)

2 cloves garlic , minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)

1 tsp dried parsley (or fresh herbs for extra freshness)

For Assembly:

4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat, gluten-free, or low-carb wraps)

Optional: Jalapeños, spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms for added texture.

Instructions:

Step 1: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine:


Shredded chicken

Mozzarella

Cheddar

Parmesan

Stir until evenly mixed and slightly sticky.


Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat and spoon ¼ of the filling onto the center.


Fold in the sides first, then roll tightly like a burrito. Press gently to seal.


Repeat with remaining wraps and filling.


Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix:


Melted butter

Minced garlic

Dried parsley

This creates a fragrant, golden glaze for the wraps.


Step 4: Cook the Wraps

Option 1: Skillet Method

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Brush wraps lightly with garlic butter and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.


Option 2: Baking Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) .

Place wraps seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush with garlic butter and bake 10–12 minutes , flipping halfway through.


Step 5: Serve Hot & Flavorful

Transfer wraps to a serving plate and slice in half if desired.


Serve warm with:


Ranch dressing

Marinara sauce

Garlic aioli or hummus

Each bite brings together:


Juicy, seasoned chicken filling

Stretchy, melted cheese pockets

Golden, garlicky crisp tortilla shell

And that classic herb-butter finish

Tips for Success:

Use Cold Hands: Helps shape and roll without sticking.

Add Veggies: Stir in sautéed spinach, diced tomatoes, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.

Cheese Swap Magic: Try pepper jack, Gouda, or goat cheese for different flavors.

Spice It Up: Add chili flakes, cayenne, or hot sauce to the filling or butter glaze.

Make Ahead Magic: Wrap unbaked wraps and refrigerate—reheat in oven before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair with coleslaw, sweet potato fries, or a crisp green salad.

Great for lunch boxes, movie nights, or game-day snacks.

Ideal with coffee, iced tea, or a cold drink to balance richness.
