Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps are my secret weapon for busy nights when I crave something crispy melty and full of flavor These wraps combine juicy golden chicken with rich garlic sauce and gooey cheese all nestled in a perfectly grilled flour tortilla You can pull this off in under half an hour and the result feels utterly comforting
When I first tried these with my kids one late Friday they vanished quicker than anything I had cooked all week Now it is part of our regular dinner rotation
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts: choose plump and fresh for juicy results Dice them evenly for even cooking
- Flour tortillas: go for the large size for easier wrapping They grill up with the best crisp
- Olive oil: I always use extra virgin for a richer flavor and golden finish
- Garlic powder: gives a bold garlicky punch without the mess of mincing
- Onion powder: brings a subtle underlying savoriness to every bite
- Paprika: opt for smoked if you want a deeper complex flavor
- Salt and pepper: season by tasting use flaky salt if you can for better distribution
- Shredded cheddar cheese: pick sharp cheddar for tang and better melting
- Shredded mozzarella cheese: stretches beautifully and helps create the classic cheese pull
- Creamy garlic sauce: either homemade or store bought The silkier and tangier the better
- Fresh parsley: for garnish not just pretty but also freshens up the whole wrap
Step by Step Instructions
- Prep the Chicken:
- Dice chicken breasts into small cubes about half an inch for even cooking Toss in a bowl with olive oil garlic powder onion powder paprika salt and pepper Massage everything together for full coverage
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a non stick pan over medium heat Add all the seasoned chicken at once Let it sear on the first side about three minutes then toss and stir occasionally for another four to five minutes until all pieces are golden and cooked through Remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly for easier handling
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out each flour tortilla on a clean surface Spoon a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce across the center Add an even amount of cooked chicken to each tortilla Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella ensuring the filling is evenly distributed
- Fold and Grill:
- Fold each tortilla tightly over the filling tucking in the sides to keep everything inside Reheat the pan over medium and add the wraps seam side down Grill each side for about two minutes until the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted Press down gently with a spatula for extra crisp
- Serve and Garnish:
- Use a sharp knife to cut each wrap in half Arrange them on a plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley Serve right away while they are hot and melty
