Serving Tips

Serve these cheesy garlic chicken wraps fresh off the skillet for the best texture and flavor. Pair them with a simple side salad, roasted vegetables, fries, or a bowl of tomato soup. For extra indulgence, add a drizzle of ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara sauce. These wraps are also great sliced into smaller pieces for party platters or appetizers.

Storage Tips

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or air fryer to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the tortillas soggy. The chicken mixture (before cooking the wraps) can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for 2–3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw before assembling.
