How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Sauté the Garlic

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it—it should be golden and aromatic, not bitter!

Step 2: Heat the Chicken

Toss in the cooked chicken, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything in the buttery, garlicky goodness. Let it heat through for a couple of minutes.

💡 Shortcut: Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience!

Step 3: Mix the Cheese Filling

In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.

💡 Tip: Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing!

Step 4: Combine Everything

Remove the skillet from the heat and mix the chicken into the creamy cheese mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas and divide the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each one. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll them up tightly.

Step 6: Cook the Wraps

Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

💡 Press down gently with a spatula for even browning and to help seal the wraps!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Go for a crispy finish – Lightly brush the wraps with melted butter before grilling for extra crispiness.
Use a panini press – If you have one, this will give you a perfectly even, golden-brown crust!
Make it spicy – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for a little heat.
Customize the cheese – Try a mix of cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for extra flavor.
