How to make irresistible cheesy garlic chicken wraps featuring juicy chicken and a creamy sauce that are ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- Base/Main Components:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Flavor Builders:
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2–4 tablespoons milk
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Seasonings/Spices:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Finishing/Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Prep Sauce: First, mince your garlic and soften cream cheese. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, minced garlic, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. This forms the creamy base for your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. No pink should remain!
- Combine Mixture: Once chicken is cooked, reduce heat to low. Add the creamy garlic sauce and sliced green onions to the skillet with the chicken. Stir gently to coat all the chicken, ensuring it’s well combined and warm.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm your large flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side, or microwave briefly. This makes them pliable and easy to roll without cracking, essential for perfect Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out a warm tortilla. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to form your wrap.
- Serve Fresh: For the final touch, slice your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps in half on the diagonal. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika for color and extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Avoid overcooking chicken; cook until no pink remains for juicy, tender results, preventing dryness.
Store assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Substitute all mayonnaise or all sour cream in the sauce if preferred, though the original blend offers best balance.
Prepare chicken mixture and sauce 1-2 days ahead, storing separately. Assemble wraps just before serving.
For enhanced flavor and a crispy exterior, lightly grill assembled wraps until golden brown and cheese is melted.
