Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Save
Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps deliver bold flavor in minutes, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Shredded cooked chicken meets buttery garlic, sharp cheddar, and fresh spring onion, all folded into large flour tortillas and lightly griddled for a golden, melty finish. The combination is hearty yet easy to assemble, making it a reliable go‑to recipe.

Ingredients
Wrap Filling
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp garlic butter, softened
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped spring onion
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas

Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, garlic butter, sour cream, paprika, and cracked pepper; mix until evenly coated.
- 2. Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle half of the grated cheddar over the center, then top with the chicken mixture and a tablespoon of spring onion.
- 3. Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly to form a sealed parcel.
- 4. Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat (≈375°F/190°C).
- 5. Place the wrapped parcels seam‑side down in the skillet; cook 2‑3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- 6. Flip and cook another 2‑3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese melts and the tortilla is crisp throughout.
- 7. Remove from heat, let rest one minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately.
Tips for Success
- Use room‑temperature garlic butter to blend smoothly with the chicken.
- Do not over‑fill the tortillas; 1/4 cup chicken mixture per wrap keeps them manageable.
- Pre‑heat the skillet fully before adding wraps to achieve an even crust.
- Press the wraps gently while cooking to encourage cheese melt and prevent tearing.
- If the tortilla browns too quickly, lower the heat to medium.
Storage
Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and the cheese is melty. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped in foil and thaw overnight before reheating.
Notes
Keep the butter soft for easy mixing and press the wraps while cooking for a uniform melt. Serve immediately for the best texture.
FAQs
Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooked chicken?
Yes, shredded rotisserie chicken works perfectly and adds extra flavor. Just ensure it’s cooled before mixing with the butter.
What cheese can I substitute for cheddar?
A mild Monterey Jack or a blend of mozzarella and cheddar will melt similarly, but the sharp cheddar gives the signature taste.
How do I keep the tortillas from drying out?
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel for a few minutes before assembling; this keeps them pliable and prevents cracking.
