Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we get to the cooking part, let’s make sure we have everything on hand. Here’s what you’ll need for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works wonders)
1 cup shredded cheese (go for a blend or just good old mozzarella)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced (more if you’re feeling brave! 😉)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier twist)
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional add-ins: jalapeños, bell peppers, spinach, or any other veggies you have lurking in your fridge
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, but let’s be honest, they look pretty)

Directions to Deliciousness

Alright, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps, and you’ll have a cheesy wrap in no time.

Step 1: Prep Your Chicken

First off, if you haven’t cooked your chicken yet, you might want to take a little detour and get that done. You can roast, boil, or just shred up some leftover rotisserie chicken. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Get Your Sauté On

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté it for about a minute until it’s fragrant. Just enough to make your neighbors a bit jealous of your cooking prowess! Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and let it cook for a couple more minutes until warmed through.

Step 3: Mix in the Cheese

Now, here’s the fun part. Stir in the shredded cheese until it melts and combines with the chicken and garlic. At this point, you may find yourself pondering how you ever lived without cheese in your life. (No judgment here; we’ve all been there!)

Step 4: Assemble Those Wraps

Now, it’s time to build your cheesy masterpieces. Grab your tights and let’s roll! On each tortilla, spread a generous layer of sour cream (or yogurt) and top it with your cheesy chicken mixture. Feel free to add any extra toppings you like—because more is always better, right?

Step 5: Wrap it Up

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Your goal here is to make a little pillow of cheesy goodness that won’t explode on your first bite.

Step 6: Toast for Extra Awesomeness

If you’re feeling fancy, you can toast your wraps in the skillet for a couple of minutes on each side until they’re golden and crispy. Seriously, that bit of extra crunch elevates the experience tenfold.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Slice your wraps in half and serve them with a side of salsa or a fresh salad. Bonus points if you garnish with some fresh herbs to make it pretty!

Tips for the Ultimate Wrap Experience

So you’ve got your wraps down, but let’s make sure they’re as fantastic as possible. Here are some tried-and-true tips:

Experiment with Cheese: Don’t feel stuck to mozzarella. Cheddar, pepper jack, or even feta can give your wraps a whole new vibe.
Always Taste as You Go: Okay, this might seem basic, but it’s a game-changer. Adjust the seasoning and add extra garlic if you’re feeling daring!
Make it Veggie: You can easily swap the chicken for black beans or chickpeas for a fantastic vegetarian option.
Prepping Ahead: You can make the chicken mixture ahead and store in the fridge. Just assemble and cook right before you’re ready to eat!
