Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious, crispy on the outside, gooey and garlicky inside comfort food perfect for a high-protein lunch or dinner. Featuring a flavorful mix of shredded chicken, garlic, light mayo, yogurt, hot sauce, and melted cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla, these wraps are quick to prepare and satisfying. They can be pan-fried, air-fried, or baked to achieve a crisp crust with a melty interior.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Wraps

  • 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)

Chicken Filling

  • 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped (about 200 grams, rotisserie recommended)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Assembly and Cooking

  • 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams, cheddar blend recommended)
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken mixture: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  2. Assemble the wrap: Lay out one tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese on the lower third of the tortilla. Top this with approximately ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture, then add another tablespoon of cheese and scatter chopped green onion over the top.
  3. Fold and roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling securely.
  4. Cook the wrap: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes until the exterior is golden and crispy. Cover the pan with a lid to help melt the cheese and heat the filling thoroughly.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, slice the wraps in half and serve immediately. They go well with a green salad, roasted vegetables, pickles, salsa, or chips.

Notes

  • Covering the pan while cooking helps melt the cheese faster and warms the filling evenly.
  • The chicken filling can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For a lighter version, reduce the amount of cheese; however, the melty cheese center greatly enhances flavor.
  • These wraps can also be cooked in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes or baked at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping once for even crisping.
  • Leftover filling works well in toasties, quesadillas, or stuffed baked potatoes.
  • Store cooked wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or air fryer to regain crispiness. Avoid freezing assembled wraps, but the filling freezes well for up to 1 month.
  • Make the filling 2–3 days ahead and refrigerate until ready to assemble and cook.
  • Serve wraps with crunchy salad, roasted veggies, pickles, salsa, or chips for a complete meal.
