Ingredients

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

Cooked shredded or diced chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
Garlic, minced
Butter or olive oil
Cream cheese (optional, for added creaminess)
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper
Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Large flour tortillas

Directions

Prepare the garlic chicken: I heat a skillet over medium heat with butter or olive oil, then sauté the garlic until fragrant. I add the cooked chicken and stir until it’s heated through and infused with the garlic flavor. I season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cheese: With the heat off, I stir in the cream cheese if I’m using it, then mix in shredded mozzarella and cheddar until everything is creamy and gooey.
Assemble the wraps: I spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla, then fold the sides and roll them up tightly.
Toast the wraps: In a clean skillet, I toast each wrap seam-side down over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Serve: I slice them in half and sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives if I want a fresh touch. They’re best served warm and melty.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 4 wraps. It takes around 10 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to cook, so the total time is approximately 25 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I add sautéed spinach, roasted red peppers, or caramelized onions to the filling for extra flavor. I also like to use different cheeses like provolone or pepper jack for a fun twist. For a spicy kick, I mix in a spoonful of sriracha or hot sauce with the cheese. And if I want to make it more filling, I’ll toss in some cooked rice or black beans before rolling them up.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftovers wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I toast them in a skillet over medium heat or pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through. The microwave works too, but the tortilla won’t stay crisp.

FAQs

Can I use uncooked chicken in this recipe?

I prefer using pre-cooked chicken to keep the recipe quick, but if I’m starting with raw chicken, I just cook it fully in the pan before adding the garlic and cheese.

What’s the best cheese for that gooey texture?

Mozzarella is my go-to for meltiness, but combining it with cheddar adds flavor and depth. Cream cheese also helps create that ooey-gooey consistency.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, I assemble and refrigerate them uncooked, then toast them just before serving so they stay fresh and crispy.

Can I bake these instead of toasting on the stovetop?

Absolutely. I bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and heated through.

Are these wraps freezer-friendly?

Yes, I wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, I bake them straight from frozen at 375°F until hot and crisp.

Conclusion

These ooey-gooey cheesy garlic chicken wraps are my ultimate comfort food — simple, quick, and absolutely loaded with flavor. I love how they combine the melty richness of cheese with garlicky chicken in a warm, crispy wrap. Whether I’m whipping up lunch or serving them as a crowd-pleasing snack, these wraps always hit the spot.
