Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are everything you crave in one bite — juicy chicken, melted cheese, and rich garlic butter all wrapped in a golden, crispy tortilla. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or game day, these wraps deliver the ultimate comfort with a balance of cheesy indulgence and garlicky flavor that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or grilled)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese blend)
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix shredded chicken with mayonnaise or cream cheese (if using).
- Lay out the tortillas and place equal portions of the chicken mixture in the center of each.
- Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the sides and roll tightly to form wraps.
- Brush each wrap with the garlic butter mixture on all sides.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Cook each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey inside.
- Slice in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the wraps before grilling.
- Add cooked spinach, caramelized onions, or mushrooms for variation.
- Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for a sharper, richer taste.
- To make it crispier, finish the wraps in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Best served fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a pan.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked?
You can, but you’ll need to cook and season it first before assembling the wraps. Using pre-cooked chicken saves time.
2. Can these wraps be baked instead of pan-fried?
Yes. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 10–12 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.
3. What type of cheese works best?
Mozzarella melts beautifully, but a blend of mozzarella and provolone or cheddar gives extra flavor.
4. Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the wraps and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking. Brush with garlic butter right before heating.
5. What dips go well with these wraps?
Ranch dressing, garlic aioli, marinara sauce, or spicy mayo pair perfectly with these cheesy wraps.
