Sauté the Garlic

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Don’t walk away—burnt garlic is not our friend. Just as it starts to smell amazing, you’re good.

Heat the Chicken

Toss the shredded or diced chicken into the skillet. Sprinkle in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Stir it around to coat that chicken in garlicky goodness and heat it through.

Mix the Cheeses

In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded mozzarella or cheddar. Stir it into a dreamy, spreadable cheese blend. Make sure your cream cheese is soft—cold cream cheese is a mixing nightmare.

Combine Chicken with the Cheese Mixture

Turn off the heat and transfer the chicken into the bowl with the cheese mixture. Stir until it’s all melty and cohesive. This is your glorious, gooey filling.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas and spoon the cheesy chicken mixture down the center. Top with the remaining shredded cheese. Fold in the sides, roll it up tightly, and resist the urge to eat one raw (I see you).

Toast the Wraps

Clean your skillet (or grab a new one), heat it over medium. Place each wrap seam-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese inside is melty magic. Press with a spatula for that perfect, crispy finish.

What to Serve with Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps pair beautifully with a simple side salad or roasted veggies if you’re aiming for balance. Feeling indulgent? Serve them with crispy fries or garlic parmesan potato wedges. You can even slice them into pinwheels for game-day snacks. They’re also great with a creamy dip—ranch, chipotle mayo, or even marinara (trust me). Want more hearty ideas? Our Loaded Baked Potato Casserole is a rich, comforting match. Honestly, these wraps are so versatile they’re like the little black dress of weeknight dinners.

Key Tips for Making Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Use rotisserie chicken to save time—it brings flavor and no extra cooking. Let your cream cheese soften before mixing or you’ll end up with lumpy filling. Toast your wraps in a hot skillet seam-side down first to seal them tight. Don’t skip pressing them slightly with a spatula—this helps them crisp evenly and makes them easier to eat. Feel free to get creative: add spinach, red peppers, or swap mozzarella for pepper jack if you want some kick. Oh, and don’t overload the wrap—tempting, I know, but they’ll fall apart when toasting.

Storage and Reheating Tips for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Got leftovers? Lucky you. Let the wraps cool completely before storing. Wrap each one in foil or parchment and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually and thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for that crispy outside (the microwave works too, but you’ll lose the crunch). If reheating from frozen, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes. They reheat like a champ, so go ahead and double the batch next time.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the wraps and refrigerate up to 24 hours ahead. Toast them just before serving for best texture.

Can I use low-carb tortillas?
Totally. Any large wrap works—whole wheat, spinach, low-carb. Just watch for tearing when rolling.

What if I don’t have sour cream?
Greek yogurt is a great swap and adds a little tang!

Can I add veggies?
Absolutely—sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms would be great inside.

Are these freezer friendly?
Yes! Freeze un-toasted wraps for meal prep, then cook straight from frozen or thaw overnight.
