  • Cooked shredded chicken — 2 cups
  • Red cheddar — ½ cup, grated
  • Regular cheddar — ½ cup, grated
  • Light mayonnaise — 2 tablespoons
  • Light yogurt — 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic — 2 cloves, minced
  • Hot sauce — ½ teaspoon (optional)
  • Green onions — 2 tablespoons, sliced
  • Large tortilla wraps — 4
  • Salt & pepper — to taste
  • Olive oil or butter — for toasting

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

1. Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, both cheddars, light mayo, yogurt, minced garlic, green onions, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is creamy and cohesive.

2. Assemble the Wraps

Spoon the filling down the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly to enclose the mixture completely.

3. Toast Until Golden

Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil or butter. Place wraps seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.

4. Serve Warm

Let cool for a minute before cutting in half. Serve hot to enjoy the gooey melted cheese.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use a mix of cheeses — red and white cheddar gives depth and stretch.
  • Don’t overstuff the wraps — it keeps them crisp.
  • Toast with a touch of butter for that golden café-style finish.
  • Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the pan for an extra aromatic layer.
