How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps:

1. Start by cooking the chicken if you have not already. You can bake, sauté, or grill it until done.
2. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper, then dice it into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
3. In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
4. Add the minced garlic and sauté just until golden and fragrant, around thirty seconds to one minute.
5. Add the diced chicken to the pan and toss it with the garlic oil to infuse flavor evenly.
6. Remove from heat and stir in both cheeses while the chicken is still hot. This helps the cheese start melting before it goes into the wrap.
7. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center.
8. Fold in the sides and roll it tightly like a burrito.
9. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
10. Place the wraps seam-side down and press gently.
11. Cook each side for two to three minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid spilling any filling.
12. Once all wraps are cooked, remove from the skillet and let them rest for one to two minutes before slicing.
13. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top if desired, and serve warm.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your wraps turn out perfectly:

• Feel free to add some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
• If you want a little kick, add some red pepper flakes to the garlic oil.
• Experiment with different cheeses! A blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack can add a delightful twist.
• For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps.
• Make sure your chicken is hot when you mix in the cheese to achieve that ooey-gooey texture!

How to Serve

These wraps are fantastic on their own, but you can elevate your meal by serving them with:

• A side of Creamy Cucumber Salad for a refreshing crunch.
• Some homemade salsa or guacamole for dipping.
• A light Cucumber Tomato Salad to balance the richness of the wraps.
• For a tangy twist, try a side of Cucumber Vinegar Salad.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these wraps in advance, you can cook the chicken and prepare the cheesy mixture ahead of time. Just store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble and cook the wraps. They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in a skillet for the best texture!
