How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Sauté the Garlic Chicken
Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Warm through for 3-4 minutes.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay out your tortillas. Spread a layer of mayo or garlic aioli. Add lettuce, the garlicky chicken, and a generous handful of cheese.
Toast to Perfection
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in a hot skillet with a touch of butter. Cook until golden and the cheese is melted—about 2-3 minutes per side. These wraps make an Easy Dinner To Make or even work beautifully as Easy Recipes Chicken.
Pro Tips for Wrap Success
- Use a mix of cheeses for flavor and stretch.
- Don’t overfill or the wrap may tear.
- A panini press works wonders for that extra crispy exterior.
Flavor Variations
- Swap chicken for turkey or grilled tofu.
- Add sliced tomatoes, red onion, or jalapeños for a kick.
- Use spicy pepper jack for a zesty twist.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a side of chips, a pickle spear, or a tangy coleslaw. A light soup or salad also makes it a more balanced meal. Or serve with rice for a twist on Chicken And Rice Wraps.
Make-Ahead and Storage
Wraps can be assembled and stored (un-toasted) in the fridge for up to 2 days. Toast just before serving for best texture.
Leftovers
Keep leftovers wrapped in foil or an airtight container in the fridge. Best eaten within 2 days.
Freezing
Wrap individually in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating
