  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 2 wraps

Ingredients

– 2 large tortillas serves as the base to hold all the fillings together for easy wrapping

– 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped provides lean protein and a juicy texture that makes the wrap satisfying and filling

– 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated delivers the primary garlic flavor that elevates the dish and adds a fresh, aromatic punch

– 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise creates a creamy base for the filling, helping to bind ingredients and add a smooth tang

– 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle tang, while keeping things lighter for a healthier twist

– 2 teaspoons hot sauce brings a kick of heat that balances the richness of the cheese and chicken

– ΒΌ teaspoon salt enhances the overall seasoning, making sure every bite of this garlic chicken wrap pops with flavor

– 3 oz grated cheese melts into a gooey center for that irresistible cheesy pull and savory taste

– 1 green onion, chopped adds a fresh, crunchy element and mild onion flavor

– Olive oil spray used for lightly coating the pan, ensuring a crispy exterior without adding excess fat

Instructions

1-First Step: Mise en Place and Mixing: Start by gathering and prepping your ingredients for efficiency. In a bowl, mix the 7 oz chopped cooked chicken with 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons hot sauce, and ΒΌ teaspoon salt. This step infuses the chicken with garlic flavor, setting the stage for delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. Let it sit for a minute while you lay out the tortillas, making prep even quicker.

2-Second Step: Assembling the Wraps: Now, lay one of the 2 large tortillas flat and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the 3 oz grated cheese onto the lower third. Add roughly two-thirds cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese for a hearty filling. Top with another tablespoon of grated cheese and the chopped green onion for extra flavor. For low-calorie adaptations, use reduced-fat cheese here to keep things light while maintaining the cheesy chicken essence.

3-Third Step: Rolling and Cooking: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to seal in the fillings. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and give it a light spray with olive oil. Place the wrap seam-side down in the pan and cook for 3 4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 3 4 minutes until golden and crispy. Cover the pan with a lid to help melt the cheese and warm the filling through, just like in the tips for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. For vegan options, use plant-based cheese and add a splash of non-dairy milk to aid melting.

4-Final Steps: Serving and Variations: Once cooked, slice the wrap in half and serve hot for the best texture. The total time is about 22 minutes, with 15 minutes prep and 7 minutes cooking. If you’re grilling for a low-fat version, check our grilled chicken breasts recipe for pointers on adapting this step. Remember, cooking the chicken to 165Β°F ensures it’s safe, and you can easily swap in gluten-free tortillas for those wraps.
