Quick & Crispy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Make these delicious and Quick Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps! An easy recipe featuring seasoned chicken, melty cheddar and mozzarella, and creamy garlic sauce in a crispy grilled tortilla.
Ingredients
Seasoned Chicken:
- ▢ 2 large chicken breasts, diced into bite-size cubes
- ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ▢ 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ▢ 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ▢ 1 teaspoon paprika
- ▢ Salt and pepper, to taste
Assembly & Sauce:
- ▢ 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size recommended)
- ▢ 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ▢ 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ▢ 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garnish:
- ▢ Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Season and Cook the Chicken:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken pieces with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Heat a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the hot pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown, cooked through, and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the heat and let it cool slightly while you prepare the tortillas.
2. Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay one large flour tortilla out on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread a layer (about 2 tablespoons) of creamy garlic sauce evenly over the surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute about one-quarter of the cooked seasoned chicken on top of the sauced tortilla, typically in a line down the center or slightly offset for easier rolling.
- Sprinkle about one-quarter of the shredded cheddar cheese and one-quarter of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
3. Fold and Roll the Wraps:
- Fold the tortilla over the filling to create your wrap. You can do this by:
- Simple Fold: Folding it in half like a large taco or quesadilla.
- Burrito Style: Folding in the opposite short sides (left and right) slightly over the filling, then tightly rolling up from the bottom edge.
- Press gently to seal if needed.
4. Grill the Wraps:
- Wipe out the same non-stick pan used for the chicken (or use a clean one) and place it over medium heat. No extra oil is usually needed if using a good non-stick pan, but a tiny bit can be added for extra crispness.
- Carefully place 1 or 2 folded wraps (depending on pan size), seam-side down if rolled burrito-style, into the warm pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is fully melted and gooey. Press down gently with a spatula if desired.
- Repeat with the remaining wraps.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the cooked wraps from the pan.
- If rolled burrito-style, you can cut each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and a nice presentation.
- Garnish the wraps with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheesy!
