For the Chicken

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• Salt & pepper

For the Garlic Butter

• 3 tbsp butter (melted)

• Step-by-Step: How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Slice chicken into thin strips.

2. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken for 6–7 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and herbs. Brush one side of each tortilla with the garlic butter.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

1. Place tortillas (buttered side down) on a flat surface.

2. Add a layer of cheese, cooked chicken, and any add-ins.

3. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.

Step 4: Grill or Pan-Sear

Place wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet or panini press. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Slice in half and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, ranch, garlic mayo, or even marinara.

• Chef Rachael’s Flavour Method for Tasty Plated

At Tasty Plated, Chef Rachael brings bold flavour and practical technique to every dish. Her version of cheesy garlic chicken wraps is built on two pillars: intensity and texture.

Chef Rachael’s Pro Tips:

• Garlic butter is non-negotiable: Brushing tortillas adds crunch and deep flavour.

• Mix cheeses: Blend mozzarella with sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a richer melt.

• Don’t overfill: Keep it compact for even grilling and easy eating.

• Let them rest: A 2-minute rest after grilling helps everything hold together.

“These wraps are all about balance, crispy, melty, juicy,” Chef Rachael says. “And that garlic butter crust? Game changer.”

• FAQs About Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

1. Can I use leftover chicken?
Absolutely. Shredded rotisserie chicken works great, just season and warm before assembling.

2. What’s the best cheese to use?
Mozzarella for stretch, cheddar for boldness, or a blend of both.

3. Can I make these vegetarian?
Yes, swap chicken for mushrooms, tofu, or roasted veggies.

4. Do I have to use flour tortillas?
Nope. You can use whole wheat, low-carb, spinach, or even flatbreads.

5. How do I make it spicier?
Add crushed red pepper, chipotle powder, or spicy cheese like habanero jack.

6. What’s the best way to get them crispy?
Use a dry skillet or press, and let the garlic butter side cook last for maximum crunch.
