How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté chicken with garlic, salt, and spices until golden brown. Add onions, bell peppers, and spinach, cooking just until tender. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, sour cream, and chives. Brush tortillas with garlic butter on one side. Spread the cheese mixture inside each wrap, top with chicken filling, and fold tightly.
Toast the wraps in a skillet over medium heat, butter side down, until crisp and golden on both sides. Slice in half and serve warm — melty, garlicky, and crazy delicious!
Tips & Notes
- Don’t overfill: Too much filling makes the wraps tear easily.
- Grate your own cheese: Fresh cheese melts smoother than pre-shredded.
- Use whole-wheat tortillas: A simple swap for a healthier version.
- Cool before wrapping: Avoid soggy tortillas by letting the filling cool for 2–3 minutes.

Faqs About Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Can I prepare Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps ahead of time?
Yes! You can make and refrigerate the filling 2–3 days ahead or assemble and freeze the wraps for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet before serving.
How do I stop my wraps from falling apart?
Use soft, warm tortillas and avoid overfilling. Start toasting seam-side down so the cheese seals the wrap naturally.
Can I make these wraps healthier?
Use whole wheat tortillas, Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and add extra spinach for more nutrients.
What cheese works best for these wraps?
A mix of mozzarella and cheddar gives the perfect gooey melt with a hint of sharpness. Feel free to experiment with provolone or Monterey Jack too.
