Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps pack chopped cooked chicken, garlic, a light creamy sauce, cheese, hot sauce, and green onion into two crisp tortillas. The skillet gives the outside a golden finish while a lid helps the three ounces of cheese melt around the warm filling.

The recipe makes 2 wraps, serving 2, in 22 minutes: allow 15 minutes to prepare and 7 minutes to cook. Starting with fully cooked chicken keeps the method quick and dependable.

Use 2 large regular or low-carb high-protein tortillas, 7 ounces chopped cooked chicken, 3 ounces grated cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese, and 1 chopped green onion. Rotisserie chicken is a convenient cooked option.

For the garlic sauce, measure 2 minced or grated garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons hot sauce such as Frank's RedHot, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Use olive oil spray for the skillet.

Crispy pan-fried wraps filled with garlicky chicken, melted cheese, and a creamy sauce. High-protein and ready in just 22 minutes.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • Wraps and Base

  • Garlic Sauce

  • For Cooking

How to Make It

1.

1. Make the Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chicken, minced garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined and creamy.

2.

2. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of each tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese, then add about 2/3 cup of the chicken mixture on top. Sprinkle another tablespoon of cheese and some chopped green onion over the filling.

3.

3. Roll the Wraps: Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up, making sure the filling stays secure inside. The seam should be on the bottom.

4.

4. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray. Make sure the pan is hot but not smoking.

5.

5. Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes. Cover with a lid during cooking to help melt the cheese and warm the filling.

6.

6. Serve: Remove from heat and let cool for a minute, then slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and the outside is crispy.

Extra Information

  1. These wraps are crispy on the outside and loaded with gooey, garlicky goodness on the inside - perfect comfort food.
  2. Using rotisserie chicken makes this recipe super quick and convenient for busy weeknights.
  3. The combination of mayo and Greek yogurt creates a creamy base that's lighter than using all mayo.
  4. Covering the pan while cooking helps melt the cheese perfectly and ensures the filling gets heated through.
