Ingredients You’ll Need Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Here’s what you’ll need to make these cheesy garlic wraps shine:
- Chicken breast – diced into even bite-sized cubes
- Flour tortillas – fresh, soft, and large enough to wrap easily
- Cheddar & mozzarella cheese – for flavor and melty goodness
- Garlic powder – gives dependable garlic flavor without burning
- Onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper – simple yet bold seasoning
- Creamy garlic sauce – ties everything together
How to Make the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
1. Season the Chicken
Toss your cubed chicken in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soak in the seasoning.
2. Cook to Golden Perfection
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until browned and fully cooked, about 3–4 minutes per side. Cook in batches if needed—don’t overcrowd the pan.
3. Assemble the Wraps
Warm your tortillas, then spread each one with garlic sauce. Add the cooked chicken and top with both cheeses.
4. Fold and Toast
Wrap tightly: fold the bottom over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up. Toast each wrap in the skillet until golden brown and the cheese is melted—2–3 minutes per side.

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps – Quick & Easy Dinner Recipe
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts diced
- 4 large flour tortillas
→ Seasonings & Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
→ Cheese & Sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
→ Garnish
- Fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Great served with a side of fresh salad or garlic dipping sauce
- Add red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning for a spicier wrap
