Ingredients & Tools 🍳

Ready for some melty, garlicky goodness? Here’s what you’ll need to make these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps:

• Wraps: Flour tortillas (10-inch ones work best!)
• Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken for that smoky flavor
• Garlic Sauce: Minced garlic, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon
• Cheese: Shredded mozzarella or cheddar – or go wild with pepper jack!
• Melted Butter: With a sprinkle of garlic powder for brushing
• Optional Toppings: Fresh spinach, sliced tomatoes, or caramelized onions

Tools You’ll Love:

• A large skillet or a grill pan
• Tongs – for easy flipping action
• Spoon or brush for spreading that buttery garlic goodness

Step-by-Step Instructions 🥄

1. Heat up your skillet over medium heat – not too hot, or your wraps can burn. Swipe a drizzle of olive oil if it looks dry!
2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Pile on shredded chicken, a hefty sprinkle of cheese, and your choice of toppings. But not too much – we’re wrapping, not exploding! 😉
3. Fold the tortilla like an envelope: bring the sides in first, and then roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat for all wraps.
4. Brush each wrap with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Trust me, this is a flavor game-changer! 🧄
5. Carefully place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Once done, remove from the pan and let cool slightly – but don’t wait too long, they’re BEST served warm and gooey!

Tips & Troubleshooting 💡

• Too crispy, too fast? Lower the heat a bit. Skillets heat up fast, so keeping watch is key!
• Wraps splitting apart? Don’t overload with fillings – sneak in extra cheese instead of heavier toppings.
• Dull garlic flavor? Use fresh minced garlic or roast your garlic beforehand for a sweeter taste.

Pro Tip: Experiment with flavored tortillas like spinach or sun-dried tomato for an extra kick of flavor!

Variations / Add-ons 🎨

• Tex-Mex Twist: Add black beans, salsa, and a sprinkle of taco seasoning to the chicken.
• Breakfast Wrap: Swap chicken for scrambled eggs and throw in some sautéed peppers and onions.
• Sourdough Hamburger Buns Hack: Use the same filling but tuck them into halved buns for cheesy chicken sliders!

Serving Ideas & Storage Tips 🧊

Serving: These wraps pair beautifully with a side of guacamole, sour cream, or a quick arugula salad for freshness.

Storage: Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for that fresh-off-the-pan taste!
