Melty Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Fast & Flavorful)

These melty cheesy garlic chicken wraps are packed with juicy chicken, rich garlic flavor, and loads of melted cheese—all wrapped up in a warm, golden tortilla. It’s the perfect grab-and-go meal that’s both satisfying and full of bold, comforting flavor. Whether I’m making lunch, an easy dinner, or prepping for the week, these wraps always come through.

Why I Love This Recipe

I love how these wraps combine two of my favorite things: garlic and cheese. The chicken is seasoned and seared to perfection, then tossed in a simple garlic butter before getting wrapped in a cheesy tortilla. Everything gets crispy and melty once it hits the pan. It’s one of those recipes that feels indulgent but is actually super easy to make with basic ingredients.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Cooked chicken breast or thighs (shredded or chopped)
• Garlic cloves (minced)
• Butter
• Olive oil
• Flour tortillas
• Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Parsley or Italian seasoning (optional)
• Sour cream, ranch, or garlic sauce (for dipping, optional)

Directions

1. I start by heating butter and a little olive oil in a skillet, then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (but not browned).

2. I stir in the cooked chicken, season with salt, pepper, and herbs, and toss until evenly coated in the garlic butter.

3. I lay out the tortillas and sprinkle half with shredded cheese, then spoon the garlic chicken on top and finish with more cheese.

4. I fold the wraps tightly and place them seam-side down in a hot skillet with a bit of oil or butter.

5. I cook each side for 2–3 minutes until the outside is crispy and golden and the cheese inside is fully melted.

6. I slice and serve hot with my favorite dipping sauce.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 wraps.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I add spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted red peppers for extra flavor and texture. I’ve also used spicy chicken or added red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a kick. For a lower-carb option, I use low-carb wraps or lettuce leaves. And if I want to go ultra-cheesy, I use a mix of cheeses like provolone and Parmesan.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover wraps in foil or an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy again. The air fryer also works great for reheating in just a few minutes.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works perfectly. It’s a great shortcut that saves me time and still delivers tons of flavor.

What’s the best cheese for these wraps?

I like mozzarella for its melt factor, but cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend all work well depending on what I have on hand.

How do I keep the wraps from falling apart?

I fold the wraps tightly and cook them seam-side down first. That helps seal them and keeps everything inside where it belongs.

Can I freeze these wraps?

Yes, I freeze them after cooking and let them cool completely. To reheat, I warm them in the oven or air fryer straight from frozen until hot and crisp.

Are these good for meal prep?

Definitely. I make a batch ahead, refrigerate or freeze them, and just reheat when I need a quick, cheesy, protein-packed meal.

Conclusion

These melty cheesy garlic chicken wraps are everything I want in a quick, comforting meal. They’re packed with bold flavor, simple to make, and totally customizable. Whether I’m serving them fresh off the skillet or reheating for a fast lunch, they’re always satisfying and full of garlicky, cheesy goodness.
