Description
So, these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are basically what happens when your favorite garlic bread, a chicken quesadilla, and a burrito have a delicious baby. I came up with these one night when I was craving something cheesy but still wanted protein, and let me tell you – they’ve become a weekly staple in my house. They’re ridiculously easy to make but taste like something you’d pay $15 for at a restaurant. The tortillas get all crispy and garlicky on the outside while the inside is packed with juicy chicken and melty cheese. Seriously, it’s comfort food heaven.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (leftover, rotisserie, or quickly sauté some)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if cooking fresh chicken)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional if you like a little kick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or white wine (to keep everything juicy)
For the Cheese Mixture:
- 2 cups shredded cheese (I use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar, but use whatever melts good)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (this makes it extra creamy and helps everything stick together)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (the real stuff, not the sawdust in the green can)
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
- 1 small jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 handful fresh spinach, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
For the Garlic Butter Exterior:
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or more, I don’t judge)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Everything Else:
- 6 large flour tortillas (the burrito-sized ones)
- Ranch or marinara for dipping (totally optional but totally delicious)
