Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to get started on your cheesy garlic chicken wraps. Grab your apron and let’s roll!
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 1 cup spinach or mixed greens
- Salt and pepper to taste

Steps to Cheesy Garlic Bliss
Let’s dive into how to create these scrumptious wraps that will earn you major kitchen cred!
- Prep the chicken: If you’re using rotisserie chicken, just shred it up and set aside. If you’re starting from scratch, cook your chicken however you prefer, then shred it.
- Mix the cheesy goodness: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, minced garlic, and half of your shredded cheese. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
- Sauté the greens: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the spinach or mixed greens until they’re wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
- Assemble your wraps: On each tortilla, spread a generous portion of the cheesy chicken mixture and top with some sautéed greens. Don’t be shy with the cheese — sprinkle the rest on top!
- Wrap it up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Get ready to feel like you’re wrapping up a delicious present!
- Toast them up: For the ultimate cheesy experience, place the wraps seam-side down in the same skillet for about 2 minutes on each side, just until they’re golden and crispy.
Cooking Tips for Your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Want to elevate your wrap game? Here are a few handy tips:
- Filling options: Feel free to get creative! You can add bell peppers, onions, or even jalapeños for a kick.
- Leftovers: These wraps are fantastic the next day. Just pop them in the microwave for a quick reheat, although they might lose some of that crunchy goodness.
- Don’t stress: If your cheese doesn’t melt just right, it’s still going to taste amazing. No cheese left behind!
