How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Mix the Chicken Filling
Start by combining the cooked shredded chicken with garlic aioli in a bowl. Season the mixture lightly with salt and pepper. The aioli gives the chicken a rich, creamy garlic flavor that makes every bite delicious.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide the chicken mixture among them, then sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese. The cheese melts perfectly inside the wrap when cooked.
Wrap and Grill
Fold each tortilla tightly around the filling, making sure it is securely wrapped to prevent any filling from spilling out. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the wraps until the tortillas turn golden and crisp, and the cheese inside has melted. Flip the wraps to cook both sides evenly.
Serve Warm and Enjoy
Once grilled, slice the wraps in half if you like. They are best enjoyed warm so you can savor the creamy garlic chicken and melted cheese with every bite.
Tips and Variations
- For a little heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- You can swap the tortillas for whole wheat or low-carb options if you prefer.
- You can swap the cheddar for mozzarella or any other cheese that melts nicely.
- These wraps are perfect for lunch or dinner and go well with a fresh salad or some steamed veggies.
