Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Print View)
Grilled chicken, garlicky three-cheese spread, fresh greens and tomatoes rolled in tortillas and grilled until golden.
# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp garlic powder
04 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 tsp salt
06 - 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
→ Garlic Cheese Mixture
07 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
10 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
11 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise
12 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
→ Assembly
13 - 4 large flour tortillas
14 - 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
15 - 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
16 - 1/4 cup sliced red onion (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Set a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to come to temperature.
02 - Coat the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place on the hot grill pan and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, minced garlic, mayonnaise, and fresh parsley. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a cohesive spread.
04 - Lay each flour tortilla flat. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the four tortillas, spreading it across the center. Layer baby spinach, sliced tomatoes, red onion if using, and the sliced chicken over the cheese spread.
05 - Fold in both sides of each tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.
06 - Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the cheese has fully melted inside.
07 - Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal and serve warm.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The triple cheese garlic spread melts into every fold and tastes like something you would pay good money for at a deli.
- They come together in about half an hour, which makes them a weeknight hero when takeout is tempting you.
02 -
- Do not skip the rest time for the chicken or you will lose all those juices onto your cutting board instead of into the wrap.
- Grilling the assembled wraps seam side down first is the trick that keeps them from unraveling.
03 -
- Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave or a dry skillet before assembling so they roll without cracking.
- Cook the chicken a day ahead and refrigerate it, then the whole recipe comes together in under ten minutes on busy nights.
