Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps with Ranch
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup ranch dressing (plus extra for dipping)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- ½ cup thinly sliced lettuce
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
Directions: How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps with Ranch
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in shredded chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until chicken is heated through and evenly coated with garlic.
Step 2: Add Cheese and Ranch
Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken. Stir gently until cheese is melted and everything is well combined. Remove from heat, then fold in ½ cup ranch dressing until creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable. Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving space at the edges. Top with lettuce and diced tomatoes.
Step 4: Roll and Toast the Wraps
Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly into a wrap. Optional: For extra crispiness, heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast wraps seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and warm.
Step 5: Serve
Slice wraps in half, drizzle with extra ranch dressing, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy immediately!
