Garlicky Cheesy Chicken Wraps

Servings: 4 wraps
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover roast chicken works great)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar for flavor or mozzarella for extra stretch)
  • ¼ cup garlic, minced (about 3–4 cloves, adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (Greek yogurt works for a lighter option)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Wraps

  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)

Instructions

  1. Make the filling
    In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, minced garlic, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Assemble the wraps
    Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon one-quarter of the chicken mixture down the center.
    Sprinkle with a small handful of shredded lettuce.
  3. Roll tightly
    Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  4. Cook until golden
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil.
    Place the wrap seam-side down first to seal. Press gently with a spatula.
    Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Rest & serve
    Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half diagonally. Serve warm.

Additional Notes

  • Shortcut Tip: Rotisserie chicken makes this recipe extra fast.
  • Extra Protein: Add more chicken or use high-protein tortillas.
  • Garlic Lovers: Roast the garlic first for a milder, sweeter flavor.

Storage & Meal Prep

  • Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
  • For freezing, wrap without lettuce and freeze up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for best texture

Variations

  • Spicy Version: Add chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Low-Calorie: Swap mayo for Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat cheese.
  • Crunchy Add-In: Add thinly sliced onions or bell peppers before rolling.
