1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are built in three simple stages: cook the chicken, mix the sauce, then assemble and toast the wraps. Take it step by step and you will be done before you know it.

Cook the chicken.
Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the oil looks slightly shimmery, add the chicken breast strips in an even layer. Sprinkle the chicken with the fine sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and smoked paprika.
Brown and cook through.
Let the chicken cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You are looking for the pieces to be cooked through and lightly golden at the edges. If a piece still looks a bit pink in the center, give it another minute or two.
Add the garlic.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until you can smell it. Keep the heat at medium so the garlic softens instead of burning. As soon as it smells fragrant, take the skillet off the heat and set the chicken aside.
Make the garlic cheese sauce.
In a medium bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the sauce is smooth and the Parmesan is evenly distributed. This gives you a creamy, garlicky base once it mingles with the chicken and tortillas.
Lay out the tortillas.
Place the flour tortillas on a clean work surface or board. It helps to have them all in front of you so you can divide the fillings evenly without guessing.
Spread the sauce.
Spoon a generous strip of the garlic cheese sauce down the center of each tortilla. Leave a little space at the top and bottom so the filling does not spill out when you roll the wraps.
Add the vegetables.
Divide the shredded lettuce and diced tomato evenly over the sauce on each tortilla. This adds a bit of crunch and freshness to balance the cheesy chicken.
Top with chicken.
Spoon the warm cooked chicken strips over the vegetables, again dividing the chicken evenly between the four tortillas. Try to keep the chicken in a line along the center so the wraps roll up neatly.
Add the mozzarella.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken in each wrap. This is what will melt and hold everything together once the wraps hit the pan.
Roll the wraps.
Fold the sides of each tortilla slightly inward over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll up tightly to form wraps. Press gently as you roll so the fillings stay snug inside.
Toast the wraps.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a clean skillet and warm it over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until the tortillas are lightly crisp and the mozzarella cheese is melted inside.
Rest and serve.
Take the Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps out of the skillet and let them rest for 1–2 minutes. This short pause makes them easier to slice and hold. Cut each wrap in half if you like, then serve warm.

You can easily imagine these on a plate next to a simple salad, or wrapped in foil to take with you for lunch. They hold up well and stay satisfying without feeling too heavy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps ahead of time?

You can cook the chicken and mix the garlic cheese sauce ahead of time, then store them in the fridge until you are ready. For the best texture, assemble and toast the wraps just before serving. If you roll them too far in advance, the tortillas can soften from the sauce and vegetables. A simple routine that works well is to cook the chicken the night before, then assemble and toast the wraps fresh the next day.

Can I use leftover cooked chicken instead of fresh chicken breast?

Yes, leftover cooked chicken works nicely here. Simply warm it in a skillet with the olive oil, then season it with the fine sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Let it heat through and pick up the flavors for a few minutes. After that, continue with the recipe as written: make the garlic cheese sauce, assemble the tortillas with lettuce, tomato, chicken, and mozzarella, and toast the wraps until the cheese melts.

How do I reheat leftover wraps without making them soggy?

If you have leftover Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, place them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat and warm them gently on each side until the cheese inside melts again and the tortilla crisps slightly. Avoid the microwave if you can, as it tends to soften the tortillas too much. A low oven, around 160°C, also works if you prefer to reheat several wraps at once.

Once you make these a couple of times, you will probably find your own rhythm with them. Maybe you like a bit more lettuce, or you prefer extra mozzarella. Either way, the basic idea stays the same: simple seasoned chicken, a creamy garlic cheese layer, and a warm tortilla holding it all together.
