Ingredients for Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps You’ll Devour

Two large chicken breasts or four boneless thighs cut into small bite sized pieces
Four large flour tortillas
Two cups of shredded mozzarella or a sharp cheddar for a great melt

Half a cup of chicken broth to make that garlic sauce nice and juicy
Two tablespoons of olive oil
A pinch of salt and pepper to make the flavors pop
One teaspoon of dried parsley for a little bit of color

Step-by-Step Instructions for Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps You’ll Devour

The total prep time for this is only 10 minutes and you will be eating in about 15 minutes. It is that fast.

Sauté the chicken pieces in a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Whisk in the minced garlic and the chicken broth right into the pan with the chicken.
Let that mixture simmer for about two or three minutes so the sauce thickens up and coats the chicken.
Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface and pile on a big handful of cheese followed by the garlic chicken.
Fold the wraps tightly and make sure the ends are tucked in well.
Place the wraps back in the skillet for about one minute on each side until they are crispy and the cheese is oozing out.

How to Avoid Common Wrapping Mistakes

I see people mess this up all the time and then all the good stuff falls out. The secret is to tuck the sides of the tortilla in first before you start rolling from the bottom. If you do not tuck those sides in the cheese is going to leak out everywhere when you are trying to sear it in the pan. You want to keep all that garlic sauce and melty cheese trapped inside that crispy shell. Just take your time and keep it tight.

Variations for Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps You’ll Devour

If you want to switch things up a bit you can totally use beef strips instead of chicken for a different flavor profile. It tastes just as good with the garlic sauce. Sometimes I like to throw in some sliced jalapeños if I am in the mood for some heat or some sliced bell peppers if I want an extra crunch. You can even use a mix of different cheeses like pepper jack if you want to get a little wild with it. This recipe is super flexible so do not be afraid to use what you have in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you happen to have any leftovers you can store them in the fridge for up to two days. When you are ready to eat them again do not use the microwave because the tortilla will get all soggy and sad. It is much better to reheat them in a dry pan or an air fryer for a few minutes. That way you get that crispy exterior back and the cheese gets all melty again. People also ask if they can freeze them and yes you can but they are definitely best when they are fresh off the skillet.
