Can I use rotisserie chicken for this recipe?

Yes. I love using rotisserie chicken to speed things up for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. Shred and fold it into the filling for instant flavor. If the meat is very juicy, pat it dry a bit to keep the wraps from getting soggy.

Is it possible to make these dairy-free or gluten-free?

Absolutely. For dairy-free, swap in dairy-free cream cheese and plant-based mozzarella. Use gluten-free tortillas and you’re set. The garlicky, melty appeal stays intact, with a few tweaks for binding if needed.

How long do leftovers keep, and how should they be stored?

Leftovers keep about 2 days in the fridge. Store the filling and tortillas separately for best texture, or wrap the whole wrap in parchment and refrigerate. Reheat in a dry skillet to refresh the crispness and melt.

Can I air-fry or bake instead of pan-frying?

Yes. Air-fry at 370–400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping once. Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, until the shell is crisp and the cheese is melted. Watch the edges so they don’t burn; the air fryer gives extra crunch.

Are there kid-friendly tweaks to the filling?

Definitely. Reduce garlic a touch or omit garlic powder, and keep the cheese mild. Add finely chopped veggies like bell peppers for color. The result is a melt that kids love and parents approve.
