Ingredients: 2 large flour tortillas; 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 tablespoons mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt; 2 teaspoons hot sauce; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese; 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese; 1 green onion, chopped; Olive oil spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil

I love making these grilled garlic chicken wraps when I want something quick, cheesy, and satisfying. The tortillas turn perfectly crispy in the skillet while the inside stays packed with juicy garlic chicken and melted cheese. I often prepare them for lunch or a simple dinner because they come together fast and taste like comfort food in every bite.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy this recipe because it is simple, fast, and full of flavor. The garlic gives the chicken a bold taste, while the blend of cheddar and mozzarella makes the filling creamy and melty. I also like that the wraps get golden and crispy in the skillet, which adds a great texture contrast to the soft filling.

Another reason I keep making this recipe is how convenient it is. I can use leftover chicken, mix everything in one bowl, and have a meal ready in about twenty minutes. It works well for both lunch and dinner, and I can easily adjust the spice level depending on how much hot sauce I add.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 large flour tortillas

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt

2 teaspoons hot sauce

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 green onion, chopped

Olive oil spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

I start by placing the cooked chicken in a bowl and adding the minced garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. I mix everything well until the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy garlic mixture.

Next, I lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and sprinkle a small layer of shredded cheese across the lower third of the tortilla. I spoon half of the chicken mixture over the cheese, then add another layer of cheddar and mozzarella along with some chopped green onion.

I fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. I repeat the same process with the second tortilla.

I heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray or a small amount of olive oil. I place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted.

Once done, I remove the wraps from the pan, slice them in half, and serve them warm.

Variations

I sometimes like to change this recipe depending on what ingredients I have available. One variation I enjoy is adding sautéed bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and texture. The vegetables blend nicely with the garlic chicken and melted cheese.

Another option I make occasionally is using grilled chicken instead of shredded chicken. The smoky flavor from grilled chicken adds another layer of taste that works really well in the wrap.

When I want a slightly healthier version, I use whole wheat tortillas and reduce the cheese slightly while adding more green onions or fresh spinach.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I wrap them tightly in foil or place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

When reheating, I prefer using a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side. This helps bring back the crispy tortilla texture. If I am in a hurry, I also warm them in the microwave for about 1 minute, though the tortilla will be softer.

I usually avoid freezing these wraps because the tortillas can become soggy once thawed.
