Step by Step Process – Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Follow these easy steps to make your delicious cheesy wraps.
Step 1: Cook or Prep the Chicken
If you don’t already have cooked chicken, you can boil or pan-fry two chicken breasts and shred them. You can also use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, mix the mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese. Add garlic powder (or minced garlic), oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix it well until creamy.
Step 3: Mix the Chicken and Cheese
Now add your shredded chicken to the cheese mixture. Stir everything until the chicken is fully coated with the cheesy, garlicky mix.
Step 4: Fill the Tortillas
Lay out your tortillas. Spoon the chicken-cheese mixture onto the center of each one. Don’t overfill – leave room to fold.
Add any extra toppings you like – lettuce, tomato, or a little sour cream.
Step 5: Fold the Wraps
Fold the sides in, then roll the bottom up and over the filling. Roll it tightly like a burrito so nothing falls out.
Step 6: Grill the Wraps
Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil. Place the wraps seam-side down and grill for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Cut the wraps in half and serve hot. They go great with ketchup, garlic mayo, or a simple salad on the side.
