How to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Overview)

Making these wraps is as easy as pie—oops, I mean wraps! Start by sautéing the garlic in olive oil to awaken its flavor (don’t skip this part; your taste buds will thank you!). Then, mix your shredded chicken and seasonings together.

Lay out the tortillas, fill them, fold, and grill until crispy. It’s seriously that simple. Pro tip: If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little more cheese on the wraps while they cook—melted cheese never hurt anyone, right?

How to serve Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Serve these wraps with a crunchy side salad for a pop of color or pair them with some tangy salsa for that extra zing.
