What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use?

Flour tortillas are the go-to here for a reason. They’re soft, flexible, and hold up well to the cheesy chicken filling without tearing. If you’re gluten-free, opt for your favorite GF-friendly wrap. You can even use spinach or sun-dried tomato tortillas for extra flavor, but nothing beats the classic soft flour tortilla when you want that perfect golden toast on the skillet.

Ingredients for the Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

To bring these wraps to life, you’ll need just a handful of ingredients that you likely already have on hand. Each one plays a key role in making these wraps taste as dreamy as they sound.

• Cooked chicken – Shredded rotisserie or any leftover cooked chicken works great for convenience.
• Butter – For that warm, golden garlic butter base that ties it all together.
• Garlic cloves – Freshly minced garlic gives that deep aromatic flavor that makes these wraps so cozy.
• Mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully and delivers that perfect cheese pull.
• Cream cheese – Adds creaminess and helps everything stick together inside the wrap.
• Salt and pepper – Simple seasoning to enhance the flavor without overpowering it.
• Flour tortillas – The wrap itself! Soft, foldable, and perfect for crisping up.
• Parsley (optional) – A sprinkle on top adds a nice fresh pop.

How To Make the Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Make the Garlic Butter

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Let it sizzle for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir constantly so the garlic doesn’t burn.

Step 2: Add the Chicken

Toss the shredded chicken into the skillet with the garlic butter. Stir to coat and warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Mix in the Cheeses

Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese and stir until it melts into the chicken. Sprinkle in the mozzarella, stirring gently until everything becomes creamy and melty. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken filling onto one side of each tortilla. Fold them into wraps or burritos, tucking the sides in and rolling tightly.

Step 5: Toast to Perfection

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.

How to Serve and Store These Wraps

These cozy cheesy garlic chicken wraps are best served hot off the skillet, but they’re just as tasty as a next-day lunch. They make a quick dinner for busy weeknights, and they reheat beautifully in a toaster oven or skillet.

You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back on a skillet until warmed through and crispy again. This recipe feeds about 4 people, especially if paired with a side dish or salad.
