Introduction

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a perfect blend of creamy, savory flavors wrapped in a soft tortilla. Easy to make and packed with fresh ingredients, they’re a quick meal that everyone will love.

Two rolled tortillas are covered in a creamy, white sauce with visible black pepper specks. The tortillas are slightly grilled, showing patches of brown char marks and a golden texture peeking through. Inside, there are small chunks of golden-brown cooked chicken visible at the open ends of the rolls. The sauce is thick and smooth, dripping down the sides and pooling slightly beneath the rolls, giving a rich and inviting look. The whole scene is set on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 2: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread an equal amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Step 3: Top the chicken mixture with fresh spinach leaves, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
Step 4: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.
Step 5: If desired, heat a skillet over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Slice each wrap in half and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
Swap fresh spinach with kale or arugula for a different leafy green option.
To make it vegetarian, replace chicken with sautéed mushrooms or chickpeas.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through, then enjoy. For best texture, reheat in a skillet to keep the wrap crispy.

How to Serve

Three rolled tortillas are placed closely together on a white marbled surface, each filled with pieces of golden-brown grilled chicken. The chicken inside has a slightly charred texture with crispy edges. A thick, creamy white sauce generously covers the chicken, dripping down the tortillas and pooling underneath them. The tortillas are lightly toasted, showing browned spots on their soft, pale surface. Small green herb leaves are scattered on top of the tortillas, adding a touch of freshness to the warm, rich dish. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

To make this recipe healthier, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or cucumbers for extra crunch.
