The Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are my go-to when I want something comforting, fast, and a little indulgent without turning my kitchen into a disaster zone.
Crispy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside, and packed with garlicky chicken that somehow tastes better than it has any right to.
This is the kind of meal you make when you’re hungry now, not in an hour, and you still want to feel like you actually cooked something.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large tortillas regular or low-carb or high-protein
  • 7 oz cooked chicken chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce like Frank’s
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 oz cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • Olive oil spray

Method
 

  1. I start by throwing the chopped chicken into a bowl. Then I add the minced garlic, mayonnaise, yogurt, hot sauce, and a small pinch of salt. Mix it all together until it looks creamy and smells like garlic in a good way.

  2. Lay one tortilla flat on the counter. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese across the lower third of the tortilla. This is the cheese base that keeps everything together.
  3. Spoon roughly two-thirds of a cup of the chicken mixture right on top of the cheese. Add another tablespoon of cheese over the chicken, then finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onion.

  4. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom like you mean it. Repeat with the second tortilla.

  5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive oil. Make sure the pan is actually hot. I’ve learned this lesson more than once.
  6. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they’re golden and crispy. I like to cover the pan with a lid while they cook so the filling heats through and the cheese melts properly.
  7. Once they’re crispy and smell amazing, take them off the heat, slice them in half, and serve them hot. Try not to burn your mouth. I fail at this every time.
