👋 Welcome to My Cozy Kitchen!

Hey there, friends! Chef Andrew here, and today I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite weeknight heroes: Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. Picture this: tender chicken, gooey cheese, and a punch of garlic, all hugged by a crispy tortilla. It’s the kind of meal that makes everyone at the table say, “Can we have this again tomorrow?”

I first created this recipe during one of those chaotic evenings when time was tight, but hunger was high. With a few pantry staples and leftover rotisserie chicken, these wraps came to life—and they’ve been a hit ever since. Whether you’re a busy parent, a college student, or just someone who loves quick, flavorful meals, this recipe is for you. Let’s dive in!

🍗 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

10-Minute Magic: From fridge to plate in under 10 minutes.
Pantry-Friendly: Uses simple ingredients you likely already have.
Kid-Approved: Even picky eaters beg for seconds.
Meal Prep Star: Make the filling ahead for lightning-fast assembly.

🥘 Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 4 – Double the batch for leftovers!)

For the Filling:

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (pro tip: shred your own for extra meltiness!)
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
1 tsp minced garlic (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped)
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional but pretty!)

For Assembly:

4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free wraps)
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for that golden crisp!)

Optional Add-Ins:

Handful of spinach or arugula
Sliced jalapeños for heat
Crispy bacon bits

🍴 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Filling (3 Minutes)

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until everything is creamy and cohesive.

Chef Andrew’s Tip: If your chicken is cold, warm it slightly in the microwave first—this helps the cheese blend smoothly!

2. Assemble the Wraps (2 Minutes)

Lay a tortilla flat and spoon ¼ of the filling onto the center.
Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up, burrito-style.

Pro Move: Don’t overstuff! Aim for a ½-inch border to prevent leaks.

3. Crisp to Perfection (5 Minutes)

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden. Flip and repeat.

Want Extra Crunch? Press gently with a spatula while cooking!

4. Serve & Enjoy!

Slice wraps diagonally (because pretty food tastes better 😉) and serve with:

A simple side salad
Ranch or chipotle mayo for dipping
Extra parsley for garnish

How Long Is a Chicken Wrap Good For?

Your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps will stay fresh in the fridge for 2-3 days if stored in an airtight container. For the best texture:
Keep the filling and tortillas separate until ready to assemble.
Avoid microwaving pre-assembled wraps, as they can turn soggy.

Healthier Swaps:

Is It Safe to Reheat a Chicken Wrap?

es! Reheat Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps safely with these tips:
Oven/Toaster: 350°F for 5-7 minutes (keeps tortillas crispy).
Air Fryer: 3-4 minutes at 375°F.
