Ingredients
Let’s gather our ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to create your own Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (store-bought rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your cheese of choice for extra funk!)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced (don’t skimp on this for maximum flavor!)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or your favorite spice blend)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Ready to get cooking? Let’s make your kitchen come alive with the wonderful aroma of garlic!
- Prep the Chicken: Start by placing your shredded chicken in a bowl. If you’re using rotisserie chicken, it’s already seasoned, but feel free to add a pinch of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to elevate it further.
- Sauté the Garlic: In a heated skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once it’s bubbling, add in the minced garlic. Stir it around for about a minute, or until your kitchen smells heavenly! Be careful not to let it brown, as burnt garlic is a no-no.
- Mix it Up: Add your shredded chicken to the skillet and toss it around in the buttery garlic mixture until warm. This step really infuses the chicken with flavor.
- Cheese It Up: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the mozzarella cheese until it’s all melty and gooey. Oh yes, this is where the magic begins!
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly among them, piling it down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll ‘Em Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortillas, then roll them up from the bottom to the top to create a secure wrap. You want them snug but not so tight that they burst open. If they do, you just get a bonus cheese explosion!
- Finish in the Skillet: Wipe the skillet clean and place the wraps seam side down. Cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and crispy. You can add a little butter to the skillet if you like an extra crispy finish.
- Slice and Serve: Once they’re golden and crispy, transfer the wraps to a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while they’re ooey-gooey!

Pro Tips & Variations
Get creative and make these wraps your own! Here are some fun ideas:
- Spice It Up: Add a dash of red pepper flakes for a little heat or smoked paprika for that smoky flavor!
- Veggie Delight: Toss in some sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach for an extra boost of nutrition and color.
- Different Cheeses: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack, cheddar, or even a tangy feta for a unique twist!
- Make It Saucy: Drizzle some ranch dressing or buffalo sauce inside the wrap before rolling for an additional flavor punch.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps are delightful all on their own, but I love serving them with a simple side salad drizzled with vinaigrette or a warm bowl of tomato soup for a truly comforting meal. The creamy texture of the cheese pairs beautifully with a crunchy salad, and that warm soup is just what you need to dunk those wraps into! Don’t forget a small bowl of ranch or your favorite dipping sauce on the side – because why not?
Storage Tips
After all this deliciousness, you might have some leftovers (if you’re lucky!). Here’s how to store them:
- Refrigerate: Allow the wraps to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: If you want to keep them longer, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. You can freeze them for up to a month!
- Reheat: To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen. Then, pop them in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or reheat in a skillet for a couple of minutes on each side for that crispy texture.
Can I use different types of tortillas?
Absolutely! Whole wheat, corn, or even low-carb tortillas work just as well! Feel free to pick whatever fits your diet or taste.
What can I substitute for chicken?
If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, try using black beans or sautéed mushrooms. Both work fabulously and still hold all that lovely cheesy goodness!
How can I spice this up?
Try adding jalapeños or hot sauce to your chicken mixture for an extra kick! You can also include spicy cheese for a richer flavor.
Can I make these wraps in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just assemble the wraps before you’re ready to cook them for maximum freshness!
