How to Make Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

  1. Get that garlic sizzling. Start by warming up your skillet over medium heat and adding the olive oil. Once it shimmers, toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute—just until fragrant. Your kitchen will smell amazing! Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter fast.
  2. Mix the magic. Add your cooked, diced chicken to the skillet. Stir well so every little piece gets coated in that garlicky goodness. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. If you like a little extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or Italian seasoning at this stage. Once everything is mixed, remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Cheese party time. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Mixing them ahead ensures every bite has that perfect balance of gooey stretch and sharp cheesy flavor.
  4. Assemble the wraps. Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board or plate. Sprinkle a generous layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom half of the tortilla. Add a scoop of the garlicky chicken on top of the cheese, spreading it out so every bite will be filled. Add another sprinkle of cheese on top—because there’s no such thing as too much cheese!
  5. Fold ‘em up. Fold the tortilla like a burrito: first tuck in the sides, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Press down gently so the wrap holds its shape. This step keeps all that cheesy filling from leaking out during cooking.
  6. Golden perfection. In a clean skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula to help them crisp up. They’re ready when they’re golden brown, slightly crunchy on the outside, and filled with molten cheese inside.
  7. Serve with flair. Remove from the skillet, slice each wrap in half on the diagonal, and sprinkle with fresh parsley if you have it. Watch that glorious cheese stretch as you pull the halves apart—it’s the ultimate reward for a few minutes of effort!

Tips for Extra Yumminess

  • Warm your tortillas slightly before filling to prevent cracking.
  • Add a little hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you like heat.
  • Try serving with marinara, ranch, or chipotle mayo for dipping.
