ingredients

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

Cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
Garlic, minced
Cream cheese or garlic cream cheese spread
Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Tortilla wraps (flour tortillas work best)
Butter or olive oil for toasting
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: spinach, tomatoes, onions, or any other preferred fillings

directions

I start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a little butter or oil.
In a mixing bowl, I combine the cooked chicken, minced garlic, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. I season it with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
I lay out the tortillas and spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of each one. I add any optional fillings like spinach or sliced tomatoes if I have them on hand.
I fold the sides of the tortillas in and roll them up tightly to form wraps.
I place the wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet and toast them until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Once they’re golden and the cheese is melted inside, I remove them from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve hot.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 wraps and typically serves 2 to 4 people, depending on appetite. From start to finish, it takes around 20 minutes to prepare and cook.

Variations

I like to mix things up by adding jalapeños for a little heat, or switching the cheese to pepper jack for more kick. Sometimes I use grilled chicken for a smokier flavor or even rotisserie chicken for added convenience. For a veggie-packed version, I toss in bell peppers, red onions, or arugula.

storage/reheating

I store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When I’m ready to reheat, I pop them in a skillet over medium heat to bring back the crispiness, or microwave them for a quick warm-up (though they’ll be softer this way). For best results, I avoid freezing them, as the tortillas can become soggy after thawing.

FAQs

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

I make sure not to overload the wraps with wet ingredients and toast them thoroughly to keep them crispy.

Can I use leftover chicken for this recipe?

Absolutely. I often use rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken to save time and reduce food waste.

What type of tortilla works best?

Flour tortillas hold up best for folding and toasting. I like using large burrito-size tortillas for bigger wraps.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, I sometimes prepare them ahead and refrigerate before toasting. I just toast them right before serving so they stay fresh and crispy.

Are these wraps good for meal prep?

They’re great for meal prep. I store the filling separately and assemble/toast the wraps fresh for the best texture.

These Easy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a go-to in my kitchen when I want something comforting, quick, and customizable. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, they’re the kind of meal I can rely on for flavor and satisfaction any day of the week.
