Crispy, golden tortillas give way to a warm, cheesy, garlic-infused filling in these irresistible cheesy garlic chicken wraps. The magic lies in the combination of savory, perfectly seasoned chicken, a creamy, pungent garlic sauce, and the satisfying melt of mozzarella. It’s a symphony of textures and flavors that comes together in a remarkably simple and quick dish, making it an ideal solution for a delicious and satisfying weeknight meal.
The secret to this recipe’s success is the pre-seasoning of the chicken, which ensures every bite is packed with flavor. The garlic sauce, made with mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese, creates a rich, tangy base that complements the chicken perfectly. The wraps are then baked until the cheese is bubbly and the tortillas are golden brown, creating a delightful contrast of textures.

## How to make Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
### Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Cheesy garlic chicken wraps makes every moment feel energetic. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
### Step 2: Bake the Chicken
Bake chicken breasts for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cool slightly, then shred or dice.
Chef’s Tip: Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
### Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Sauce
While the chicken is baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
### Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Spread a generous amount of garlic sauce onto each tortilla. Top with shredded chicken and mozzarella cheese.
### Step 5: Bake the Wraps
Fold the tortillas into wraps. Place wraps on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortilla is lightly toasted.
Chef’s Tip: For extra crispy tortillas, lightly brush the outside of the wraps with olive oil before baking.
### Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
## Tips for Success
* Don’t overbake the chicken, as it will become dry.
* Use good quality mozzarella cheese for the best melt.
* Adjust the amount of garlic in the sauce to your liking.
* Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.
## Serving Suggestions
These cheesy garlic chicken wraps are delicious on their own, but they also pair well with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with a simple green salad, coleslaw, or some crispy potato wedges. For a complete meal, try pairing them with Chicken Turkey Turkey Bacon Ranch Lettuce Boats for a lighter side. A refreshing drink like iced tea or lemonade would also be a great accompaniment.
## Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cheesy garlic chicken wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but the tortillas may become a little soggy. For a different flavor profile, check out this chicken shawarma recipe for another tasty wrap idea.
