Preparing Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

This delightful dish is all about convenience without compromising on flavor. You’ll start by mixing your filling, then roll up those tasty ingredients in soft tortillas, and finish by frying them until golden and crispy. Prepare your taste buds for an explosion of cheesy goodness in every bite!

What you’ll need

Before diving into the cooking, let’s gather your ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Olive oil for cooking

Feel free to customize with leftover chicken, or use a rotisserie chicken to save time.

Step-by-step instructions

Now that you have your ingredients, let’s get cooking!

1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

2. Take your tortillas and divide the filling evenly among them. Top the filling with a handful of fresh spinach leaves and diced tomatoes, and sprinkle with parsley if you’d like some extra color and freshness.

3. Roll each tortilla tightly, ensuring that the filling is securely wrapped inside.

4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

5. Once done, slice the wraps in half at an angle and serve them warm.

Best ways to enjoy it

These cheesy garlic chicken wraps are delicious on their own, but you can elevate the experience with some creative serving ideas. Pair them with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. A side of salsa or guacamole can add a delightful zing if you’re in the mood for some extra flavor. Don’t forget to keep some extra cheese on hand for those cheese enthusiasts!

Keeping leftovers fresh

Got leftovers? No problem! These wraps can be stored safely in your refrigerator. Just place them in an airtight container and they will last for up to 3 days. If you want to save them for later, consider wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in the freezer; they’ll keep for about a month. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a skillet for the best texture.

Helpful cooking tips

To take your cheesy garlic chicken wraps to the next level, consider these helpful tips:

• Make sure your cream cheese is well-softened to blend smoothly with the other ingredients. No one wants chunks of unblended cheese!
• Let your cooked chicken cool before shredding to make the process easier and improve flavor absorption in your filling.
• Feel free to experiment with additional spices or add-ins, such as jalapeños or black beans, for a flavor twist.

Creative twists

One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. Here are some variations you might consider:

• Swap out the chicken for shredded turkey or even roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option.
• Change up the cheese by using pepper jack for a bit of heat or a blend of your favorites for a different flavor profile.
• Incorporate different greens, like kale or arugula, and add toppings like avocado or olives for a Mediterranean flair.
