Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

4 flour tortillas

1 cup lettuce, shredded

1/2 cup tomato, diced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

I preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Then, I season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

I cook the chicken in the skillet for 6–7 minutes on each side until it’s fully cooked and golden brown. After removing it from the skillet, I let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

While the chicken rests, I mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl to create the garlic sauce.

In another bowl, I combine shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan for the cheese blend.

I lay the tortillas flat, spreading a generous spoonful of garlic sauce over each one.

Then I layer on the sliced chicken, cheese mixture, lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

To assemble, I fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap.

I like to toast the wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to warm them through and melt the cheese.

Variations

I often switch things up depending on my mood. For extra heat, I add a pinch of cayenne or a few jalapeño slices. Sometimes I use grilled chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier bite. If I’m craving crunch, I’ll throw in some crispy bacon or swap the lettuce for cabbage slaw. Want it healthier? I go for Greek yogurt instead of mayo in the garlic sauce and use whole wheat tortillas.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. For reheating, I like to toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side to get that cheese melting again and restore a bit of crispness to the tortilla. I avoid microwaving them if possible—it makes the wrap soggy.

FAQs

What kind of chicken is best for this wrap?

I prefer boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a lean option, but boneless thighs work well if I want something more flavorful and tender.

Can I make the garlic sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely. I usually prepare it a day in advance and keep it chilled in the fridge—it even tastes better after sitting for a bit.

Can I freeze these wraps?

I don’t recommend freezing them fully assembled because the fresh veggies and sauce can get watery. But the cooked chicken can be frozen and used later.

How do I make this wrap spicier?

I like to add a dash of hot sauce to the garlic mayo or toss in sliced jalapeños for a kick. A sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes also does the trick.

What cheese substitutes can I use?

If I’m out of mozzarella or parmesan, I’ll use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even a smoky gouda for a richer flavor.

Conclusion

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a go-to when I need something quick, filling, and delicious. With tender chicken, a rich garlic spread, melty cheese, and fresh toppings, it’s a wrap that always delivers. Whether I’m prepping lunch or dinner, these are always a hit—and easy enough to make again and again.
