Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Printable)
Tender seasoned chicken with creamy garlic sauce and melted cheese, all wrapped in a warm tortilla with fresh veggies.
# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 14 ounces), cut into strips
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - ½ teaspoon paprika
05 - ½ teaspoon salt
06 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
→ Garlic Sauce
07 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
08 - 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
09 - 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
10 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
11 - ¼ teaspoon salt
→ Wrap Assembly
12 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-12 inch diameter)
13 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
15 - 1 cup lettuce, finely shredded
16 - 1 medium tomato, diced
17 - ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F or set a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure your cooking surface is ready before beginning preparation.
02 - Place chicken strips in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
03 - Transfer seasoned chicken to the preheated skillet. Cook over medium heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chicken is done when golden brown and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk until completely smooth and well incorporated. The sauce should be creamy and spreadable.
05 - Lay tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread a generous tablespoon of garlic sauce down the center of each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
06 - On top of the sauce layer, arrange shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and cooked chicken strips. Finish with an even distribution of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over each wrap.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose all fillings completely. Ensure the seam is secured on the bottom.
08 - For melting: Place wraps seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes, or toast in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden.
09 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half. Serve immediately while warm and cheese is melted.
