Why I’ll Love This Recipe
I adore how quick and easy these wraps are—I can have them on the table in under 30 minutes. The bold garlic flavor paired with that stretchy, melty cheese gives me comfort and satisfaction with every bite. I also love how adaptable they are—I can easily swap in different veggies, cheeses, or proteins depending on what I have on hand.
ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
tortillas (large flour or whole wheat)
-
cooked chicken (shredded or diced—rotisserie works great)
-
garlic (fresh minced or grated)
-
mayonnaise and/or Greek yogurt (for a creamy, tangy base)
-
hot sauce or garlic sauce (for a flavor kick)
-
salt (just a pinch to round flavors)
-
shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend—for that perfect melt)
-
green onion or parsley (for a fresh, vibrant finish)
-
olive oil or butter (for crisping and flavor)
directions
I start by mixing the chicken with garlic, mayo (or yogurt), hot sauce, and a pinch of salt until it’s all coated. Then I lay out a tortilla and sprinkle cheese on the lower third, followed by the chicken mix, additional cheese, and green onion. I fold and roll the wrap tightly.
In a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat, I spray or brush with olive oil (or brush with garlic‑butter), then place the wraps seam‑side down. I cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, covering with a lid to encourage cheese melt, until the tortilla is golden and crispy. Then I slice it in half and dig in.
Servings and timing
I usually make 2 wraps, and it takes about 10 minutes prep plus 7 minutes cook time, so roughly 17 minutes total. homefoodservices.com+5Pinterest+5Facebook+5Recipes Cookery+1dolcerecipe.com+10Cooked & Loved+10MmmRecipes : Easy and Delicious Recipes+10

storage/reheating
I let leftovers cool completely, then wrap them tightly in foil or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. To reheat, I crisp them in a skillet or air fryer for a few minutes—or pop them in the oven for that same golden crunch. Avoid microwaving if I want to retain that crispy shell.

FAQs
How long do these wraps stay good in the fridge?
I store them for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crispiness. Cooked & Loved
Can I freeze them?
I usually freeze just the filling for up to a month. The wraps themselves can get soggy if frozen wrapped.
Can this be made in an air fryer or oven?
Absolutely—air fry at 190 °C for about 6–8 minutes, and they turn out perfectly crispy.
What can I use instead of hot sauce?
For a milder flavor, I swap in BBQ sauce or even a creamy garlic sauce depending on my mood.
What’s the best cheese mixture for melt and flavor?
I love a blend—mozzarella for stretch, cheddar for sharpness, and sometimes a sprinkle of Parmesan for richness.
Conclusion
These wraps are one of my go‑to meals: they’re fast, flexible, and utterly satisfying. The garlic hits the spot, the cheese pulls perfectly when I take a bite, and the crispy tortilla tie it all together. They’re ideal for a cozy dinner, quick lunch, or even to pack for later. I guarantee—they’re devilishly good, and I promise you’ll devour them.
