Introduction

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps make for a quick and tasty meal that’s packed with flavor and easy to prepare. With a creamy, spicy chicken filling and melty cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla, they’re perfect for lunch or a casual dinner.

The image shows three rolled tortillas stacked on a wooden board, each with a golden brown, crispy outer layer on top and a softer, lightly toasted underside. Inside the tortillas, there is a creamy, melted yellow cheese mixed with shredded chicken that looks tender and juicy. The tortillas are arranged so the filling is visible, oozing slightly out from the edges. Small pieces of chopped green onions are scattered around the wooden board for garnish. In the blurred background, a white bowl with a fresh mix of red and green vegetables sits on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
7 oz cooked chicken (about 200 grams, chopped; rotisserie is great)
2 garlic cloves (minced or grated; adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
2 teaspoons hot sauce (like Frank’s)
¼ teaspoon salt
3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams; cheddar blend recommended)
1 green onion (chopped)
Olive oil spray

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the chopped chicken, minced garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix well until evenly blended.
Step 2: Lay out one tortilla flat. On the lower third, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese.
Step 3: Spoon approximately ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese layer. Add another tablespoon of cheese on top and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
Step 4: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase the filling.
Step 5: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil.
Step 6: Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook each side for 3–4 minutes until the wrap is crispy and golden brown. Cover the pan with a lid to help heat the filling through.
Step 7: Once cooked, slice the wraps in half and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time without sacrificing flavor.
Swap out the cheddar cheese for mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the chicken mixture for extra crunch and heat.
For a lighter option, use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas and reduce the cheese amount if desired.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat to maintain crispiness or microwave briefly, then crisp up in a skillet. Avoid microwaving for too long to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can assemble the wraps in advance and keep them wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. However, for best texture, cook them fresh when ready to eat.

Can I freeze the cheesy garlic chicken wraps?

These wraps can be frozen before cooking. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat them in a pan or oven from frozen for best results.
