Introduction

Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and comforting meal perfect for any day of the week. Combining tender chicken, melty cheese, and savory garlic in a warm tortilla, these wraps are easy to prepare and satisfy all your cravings.

The image shows three grilled chicken and cheese burritos placed side by side on a white plate, each burrito wrapped in a toasted tortilla with a golden-brown, slightly crispy surface and garnished with fresh chopped parsley scattered on top and around the plate. The tortillas are slightly open at one end, revealing layers of melted white cheese and grilled chicken pieces inside, with the cheese oozing out a little. In the background, there are two small black bowls, one filled with white sour cream topped with parsley, and the other with chunky red salsa made of diced tomatoes, onions, and green herbs. The plate is set on a wooden surface replaced with a white marbled texture, giving a clean and bright look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish
Optional: sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
Optional: hot sauce or salsa

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed garlic, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well until evenly combined.
Step 3: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Step 4: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a tight wrap. Repeat for all tortillas.
Step 5: Wipe the skillet clean and heat over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 6: Remove wraps from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Slice in half, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Warm tortillas briefly before assembling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
Substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a tangier and lower-fat alternative.
Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to boost nutrition and texture.
Use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese for a creamier texture.
Serve with salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce for added flavor.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the ungrilled wraps wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking. Reheat in the microwave or skillet, adding a splash of water to keep them moist.

How to Serve
