Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These flavorful wraps are filled with seasoned chicken, melty cheese, and a creamy garlic sauce—perfect for a quick lunch or easy dinner.

Ingredients

For the Chicken & Seasoning:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into thin strips or small cubes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Garlic Cream Sauce:

• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup diced tomatoes
• Optional add-ins: sliced avocado, cooked bacon, sautéed onions/peppers, jalapeños, black beans, corn

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken:
   • Season chicken strips with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5–7 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat.
2. Make the Garlic Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
   • Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave (about 10 seconds) to make them pliable.
   • Spread about 1 tbsp of the garlic sauce down the center of each tortilla.
   • Layer with cooked chicken, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and any optional add-ins.
   • Drizzle with a little extra garlic sauce if desired.
4. Fold & Serve:
   • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
   • Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Crispy Grilled Variation

For a warm, melty, and crispy wrap:

• After rolling, lightly brush the outside of the wrap with olive oil or melted butter.
• Cook in a panini press, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cheese is melted.

Tips for Success

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in 2 tbsp of the garlic sauce for 20–30 minutes before cooking.
• Use a rotisserie chicken for a shortcut—just shred and season lightly.
• Customize the sauce by adding a dash of hot sauce, ranch seasoning, or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
• If making ahead, store components separately and assemble just before eating to avoid soggy tortillas.
