Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• ½ tsp dried oregano

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a sharper flavor)

• 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat wraps)

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for creaminess)

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Filling

   • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

   • Stir in shredded chicken, paprika, black pepper, salt, and oregano. Cook for 3–4 minutes.

2. Add the Cheese

   • Lower the heat and mix in shredded mozzarella (and cream cheese if using). Stir until cheese is fully melted and chicken is coated.

3. Assemble the Wraps

   • Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.

   • Spread mayonnaise evenly on each tortilla.

   • Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center.

4. Wrap & Toast

   • Fold the sides and roll tightly.

   • Toast the wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

5. Serve

   • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

• You can use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.

• For extra garlic flavor, use garlic butter instead of plain butter.

• This works well with low-carb wraps for a keto-friendly version.

Tips

• Don’t overfill the wraps to avoid tearing.

• For a spicier kick, add chili flakes or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.

• If meal prepping, store the filling separately and assemble wraps before eating to keep them fresh.
