Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sour cream
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
4 large flour tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for toasting the wraps)
Directions
In a mixing bowl, I combine the cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. I stir everything together until it’s well mixed and creamy.
I lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the filling in the center of each one.
Then I fold the sides and roll them tightly into wraps.
In a skillet over medium heat, I add a bit of olive oil or butter and place the wraps seam-side down.
I toast each side for about 2–3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
Once toasted, I let them cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 4 wraps and serves 4 people. From start to finish, it takes about 25 minutes—10 minutes for prep and 15 minutes to cook.
Variations
When I want to mix things up, I swap the chicken for shredded rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken strips. Sometimes I add chopped spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or sliced jalapeños for a little kick. For extra flavor, I’ve also tried it with chipotle mayo instead of plain mayo, and it was amazing. I’ve even made these into mini wraps for party appetizers.
Storage/Reheating
I store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When I reheat them, I use a skillet over medium heat or a toaster oven to keep the outside crisp. The microwave works too, but the tortilla gets softer that way. I don’t recommend freezing these, as the texture of the cheese sauce changes.
FAQs
How can I make this wrap spicier?
I add red pepper flakes, a dash of hot sauce, or sliced jalapeños to the filling for extra heat. A spicy cheese like pepper jack also works well.
Can I use store-bought garlic sauce instead of making my own?
Yes, I’ve used store-bought garlic sauce before when I’m short on time, but the homemade version gives a creamier and fresher flavor.
What’s the best chicken to use?
I usually use cooked and shredded chicken breast, but leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken also works great for flavor and convenience.
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Absolutely. I prep and fill the wraps ahead, store them in the fridge, and toast them fresh when I’m ready to eat. That keeps them from getting soggy.
Are these wraps good for lunchboxes?
Yes! I wrap them in foil or parchment, and they’re great to take on the go. I just keep them chilled and reheat if needed.
