Ingredients
For the Chicken:
2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Garlic Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1–2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Wraps:
4 large tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 tomato, diced
Optional: sliced onions, pickles, cucumbers
Instructions
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–5 minutes until heated through and seasoned well.
In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Warm the tortillas slightly in a pan or microwave to make them pliable.
Spread a generous layer of garlic sauce over each tortilla.
Add a layer of seasoned chicken, followed by cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and any other desired toppings.
Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides.
Optional: Place the wrap in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to melt the cheese and crisp the exterior.
Slice in half and serve warm.
Description
These wraps are packed with savory garlic flavor, creamy sauce, juicy chicken, and melty cheese, all balanced with the freshness of crisp veggies. They are hearty yet light enough to enjoy anytime. The warm tortilla and gooey cheese make each bite comforting and satisfying.
Tips
Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
Add more garlic for a stronger flavor or reduce it for a milder wrap.
Choose sturdy tortillas to prevent tearing.
Toasting the wrap in a skillet enhances flavor and texture.
Add hot sauce for a spicy version.
Variations
Use grilled chicken for a smoky flavor.
Replace chicken with turkey, shrimp, or crispy chicken tenders.
Add bacon, avocado, or caramelized onions for richer wraps.
Switch mozzarella for pepper jack, cheddar, or provolone.
Turn it into a low-carb option by using lettuce wraps.
Correction
If the wrap feels too dry, add more garlic sauce inside.
If it becomes soggy, reduce the amount of tomato or wet ingredients.
If the tortilla tears, warm it longer before filling.
If the flavor tastes flat, adjust seasoning in the chicken or add a splash more lemon juice to the sauce.
Enjoy
Slice, serve, and enjoy a cheesy, garlicky wrap that is quick, comforting, and packed with flavor.
