Easy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps combine cooked chicken with creamy garlic aioli and sharp cheddar inside four skillet-crisp tortillas. The short ingredient list makes this a useful plan for leftover or rotisserie chicken without changing the exact creamy, cheesy filling.

The recipe serves 4 in 23 minutes: 15 minutes to prepare and 8 minutes to cook. Warm the tortillas, portion the filling evenly, roll them tightly, and brown seam-side down over medium heat before flipping.

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wrap Ingredients

Four tortillas, two cups cooked chicken, half cup garlic aioli, one cup sharp cheddar, salt, and pepper

Gather 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced, ½ cup creamy garlic aioli, 1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar, and 4 large flour tortillas. Season the chicken mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Each tortilla receives about ½ cup of the creamy chicken and exactly ¼ cup cheddar. Those portions use the full recipe and keep the four wraps similar in thickness.

Tender chicken mixed with garlic aioli and melted cheddar cheese, wrapped up and grilled until golden and crispy.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • Main Filling

  • Seasonings

How to Make It

1.

1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the garlic aioli, mixing until the chicken is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

2.

2. Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm your tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them more pliable.

3.

3. Fill Each Wrap: Lay each tortilla flat and spoon about ½ cup of the chicken mixture down the center, leaving space at the edges. Sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded cheddar over the chicken.

4.

4. Roll the Wraps: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll tightly from bottom to top, keeping the filling tucked in.

5.

5. Heat Your Skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. You don't need oil since the tortillas will crisp up nicely on their own.

6.

6. Grill Until Golden: Place the wraps seam-side down in the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

7.

7. Check for Melted Cheese: The wraps are done when both sides are golden brown and you can see the cheese has melted inside. The tortilla should be crispy on the outside.

8.

8. Slice and Serve: Let the wraps cool for just a minute, then slice each one diagonally in half. Serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and the outside is crisp.

Extra Information

  1. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe and saves time
  2. Don't overfill the wraps or they'll be difficult to roll and may burst while cooking
  3. Make sure your skillet isn't too hot or the outside will burn before the cheese melts
