Ingredients
For the Wraps:
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
Optional Toppings:
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Ranch dressing
- Hot sauce
How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
1. Sauté the Garlic
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
2. Add the Chicken
Toss the cooked, shredded chicken into the skillet. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until the chicken is evenly coated and heated through.
3. Melt the Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the chicken mixture. Stir occasionally until the cheese is fully melted and everything is deliciously gooey. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon an even amount of the cheesy chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Add any toppings you like, such as lettuce, tomato, or a drizzle of ranch dressing.
5. Wrap It Up
Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to create a secure wrap.
6. Toast the Wraps (Optional)
For a golden, crispy finish, heat a little olive oil in a skillet and toast each wrap on both sides until lightly browned. This step is optional, but it adds a wonderful texture and flavor!
Tips for Success
- Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: Save time by using store-bought rotisserie chicken. Just shred and mix it with the garlic and cheese!
- Don’t Overfill: Keep the filling in the center of the tortilla to make wrapping easier and less messy.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet for best results.
Flavorful Variations
- Switch the Protein: Use turkey, grilled shrimp, or even black beans for a vegetarian option.
- Try Different Tortillas: Swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free options.
- Add More Veggies: Bell peppers, spinach, or cucumbers make great additions.
- Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes, jalapeños, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for a kick of heat.
FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
