Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 large tortillas (regular or low‑carb/high‑protein)
200 g cooked chicken, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
2 teaspoons hot sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
90 g shredded cheese (cheddar blend works well)
1 green onion, chopped
Olive oil spray

Directions

I start by mixing the chopped chicken, garlic, mayonnaise, yogurt, hot sauce, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
I lay one tortilla flat and, along the lower third, sprinkle some shredded cheese. Then I spoon in about ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture. I add more cheese and scatter some chopped green onion on top.
I fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a firm wrap.
I heat a non‑stick pan over medium‑high heat and give it a quick spray with olive oil.
I place the wrap seam-side down in the hot pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. I cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt and the filling heat through.
Once done, I slice the wrap in half and serve it hot.

Variations

I like adding thinly sliced bell peppers or spinach for extra veggies.
For a smoky flavor, I sometimes use smoked paprika or chipotle mayo instead of plain hot sauce.
I can turn this into a wrap bowl by skipping the tortilla and serving everything over rice or salad greens.
When I want extra crunch, I toss in some crushed tortilla chips before rolling.
For a lighter version, I reduce the cheese or use low-fat cheese and swap mayo for more Greek yogurt.

storage/reheating

I store any leftover cooked wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days.
To reheat, I use a skillet or air fryer so they stay crispy—about 6–8 minutes at 190°C in the air fryer works well. I avoid the microwave since it tends to make the wrap soggy. I also prep the chicken filling ahead and keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days, which makes assembling even faster.

FAQs

Can I make the chicken filling in advance?

Yes, I often prep the chicken mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. It makes assembling the wraps super quick.

What’s the best cheese to use?

I like a cheddar blend for its meltiness and flavor, but mozzarella or Monterey Jack work well too.

How do I get the wrap crispy?

I always cook it seam-side down first in a lightly greased hot pan. Covering the pan helps the cheese melt while keeping the outside golden and crisp.

Can I use uncooked chicken?

No, I always use pre-cooked chicken in this recipe. It’s a great way to use up leftovers or rotisserie chicken.

Can I bake or air fry these instead?

Absolutely. I sometimes use the air fryer at 190°C for about 6–8 minutes. Baking is an option too, but pan-frying or air-frying gives the best texture.

Conclusion

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are my go-to for a meal that’s fast, full of flavor, and downright satisfying. The garlicky chicken, creamy-spicy sauce, and gooey cheese all tucked into a crispy wrap hit every craving I have. They’re easy to prep ahead, simple to customize, and always a crowd-pleaser.
