Description
These incredibly easy and flavor-packed cheesy garlic chicken wraps feature juicy chicken, crispy turkey bacon, melty mozzarella, and a creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce, all grilled to perfection in a tortilla.
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) boneless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced (for chicken filling)
2 slices turkey bacon, chopped
½ cup (75 g) chicken ham, diced
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup (60 g) mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sour cream
¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced (for sauce)
½ tsp Italian seasoning
4 large flour tortillas (10″/25 cm)
1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Turkey Bacon & Chicken Ham. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped turkey bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the diced chicken ham and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer both to a plate and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan. [IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER_0]
Step 2: Sauté the Garlic. In the same skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the minced garlic for the chicken filling and cook, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds—just long enough to release its fragrance without browning. [IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER_1]
Step 3: Cook the Chicken. Add the chicken strips to the garlic-infused oil. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Return the cooked turkey bacon and ham to the pan, toss to combine, then remove from heat.

Step 4: Make the Garlic-Cheese Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sour cream, ¼ cup grated Parmesan, 1 minced garlic clove, and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed. This sauce will both dress the wrap and serve as a dip. [IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER_3]
Step 5: Warm the Tortillas. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Working one at a time, place each flour tortilla in the skillet and warm for about 10 seconds per side, just until pliable. Stack the warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft.
Step 6: Assemble the Wraps. Lay a warmed tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread approximately 1½ tablespoons of the garlic-cheese sauce down the center in a strip. Top with a quarter of the chicken-bacon-ham mixture, ¼ cup shredded mozzarella, a handful of shredded romaine, and a few tomato slices.
Step 7: Fold and Roll. Fold in the left and right edges of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom edge upward, creating a secure cylinder with the seam on the underside.
Step 8: Grill the Wraps. Return the skillet to medium-low heat and brush lightly with oil or nonstick spray. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook 1–2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the exterior is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
Step 9: Slice and Serve. Transfer the grilled wraps to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately with any remaining garlic-cheese sauce on the side for dipping. [IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER_4]
Notes
For a healthier version, use whole-wheat tortillas and substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt in the sauce. Feel free to add your favorite hot sauce to the filling or sauce for an extra kick!
