How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
1. Season the Chicken
Place the sliced chicken in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the heat.
3. Make the Garlic Sauce
Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay the tortillas flat and spread each with garlic sauce. Add cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, and green onions.
5. Fold the Wraps
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to create a sealed wrap.
6. Toast the Wraps
Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
7. Serve
Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately with extra garlic sauce for dipping.
Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
- Slice the chicken evenly so it cooks at the same rate.
- Use a combination of mozzarella and cheddar for great flavor and melt.
- Don’t overfill the tortillas, or they may be difficult to roll.
- Toast the wraps seam-side down first to help seal them.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
