in every bite.

They’re also incredibly flexible: you can keep them classic, add veggies for freshness, make them spicy, or swap proteins
based on what you have. One recipe—so many delicious directions.
Introduction:
A great wrap has three things going for it: a flavorful filling, a creamy binder that keeps everything moist, and a crisp,
golden exterior that makes the whole bite satisfying. These cheesy garlic chicken wraps hit all three.
The chicken stays tender thanks to a quick seasoning blend and a creamy cheese mixture that melts into a rich sauce as it heats.
Garlic is the main character here, but it’s balanced with herbs, a touch of salt, and optional lemon to brighten the flavor.
When you toast the wrap in a skillet (or press it like a panini), the tortilla turns buttery-crisp and the cheese becomes stretchy
and irresistible.
If you’re tired of the same sandwiches, these wraps are an easy upgrade. They’re satisfying without being complicated, and they’re
perfect for meal prep because the filling can be made ahead.
