Healthier Twists
While these wraps are indulgent, there are plenty of ways to make them lighter without sacrificing flavor. Consider using whole-grain tortillas or adding extra veggies to boost the nutritional value. Spinach, bell peppers, and even avocados can complement the cheesy, garlicky chicken wonderfully, adding freshness and fiber to every bite.
For a lower-calorie option, you can use grilled chicken instead of slow-cooked. Grilling the chicken adds a smoky flavor that pairs well with the garlicky notes while keeping the wraps light and healthy. Additionally, using reduced-fat cheese can help cut down on calories while still delivering that gooey goodness you crave.

Another great tip is to warm the tortillas slightly before assembly. This makes them more pliable and easier to roll up, helping to prevent any cracks or tears. A quick 10-15 seconds in the microwave will do wonders for your tortilla texture.
