How to Make Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
If you’re starting with raw chicken, season it lightly with salt and pepper and cook until done (grilled, baked, or pan-seared all work). Dice into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Oil
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until golden and fragrant — about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 3: Mix in the Chicken and Cheese
Add your cooked chicken to the garlic oil and toss to coat. Remove from heat, then stir in both cheeses while still warm so it starts to melt — this is the ooey-gooey magic moment.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat, spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center, and roll it tightly like a burrito.
Step 5: Toast to Perfection
Melt butter in a clean skillet. Place each wrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 6: Slice & Serve
Let the wraps rest for a minute before slicing. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a little color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy every cheesy bite.
Tips for the Best Wraps
- Add spice: Toss in red pepper flakes or jalapeños for heat.
- Switch the cheese: Try pepper jack, gouda, or Monterey Jack.
- Add veggies: Spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted peppers fit perfectly.
- Extra garlic flavor: Brush garlic butter on the tortillas before toasting.
