Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and comforting meal, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Packed with tender chicken, melted cheese, and a garlicky cream cheese blend, they offer a satisfying flavor in every bite.

Three grilled chicken and melted cheese burritos lie side by side on a white plate, each burrito wrapped in a golden-brown, toasted tortilla with dark char marks. The outer layer of the tortillas is crispy and slightly bubbled, sprinkled with bright green chopped parsley scattered on top and around them. The ends of the burritos reveal a filling of juicy, seasoned grilled chicken pieces mixed with gooey, creamy melted cheese. In the background, two small black bowls hold a creamy white sauce garnished with parsley and a colorful chunky salsa of red tomatoes, green herbs, and diced onions. The surface beneath the plate is a white marbled texture. 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 Add-Ins: Sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
  • Optional Add-Ins: Hot sauce or salsa

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed garlic, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Step 3: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon the chicken mixture onto the center. Fold the sides over and roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.
  4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
  5. Step 5: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice them in half, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach directly into the chicken mixture.
  • Spice things up by adding a dash of hot sauce or a spoonful of salsa before rolling the wraps.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a heartier, fiber-rich option.
  • To make prep easier, use rotisserie chicken or leftover roast chicken.

Storage

Store leftover wraps wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and the cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving to keep the tortillas crisp.

How to Serve

Three grilled chicken and melted cheese burritos are placed side by side on a white plate, each burrito showing a golden-brown grilled outer layer with browned spots and sprinkled with small green parsley leaves on top. The front edges of the burritos reveal a filling of shredded grilled chicken mixed with creamy melted cheese that is oozing slightly out of the wraps. Around the burritos, extra parsley leaves are scattered on the plate. Behind the plate, two small bowls hold sour cream with a parsley garnish and fresh red salsa with diced tomatoes, onions, and herbs. The setting is on a white marbled surface with green parsley sprigs blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps and store them in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. Just grill them fresh to maintain crispness and melty cheese.

What if I don’t have cream cheese?

You can substitute cream cheese with sour cream or Greek yogurt, but the texture and creaminess may be slightly different.
