Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wraps

This hearty Parmesan Garlic Chicken Burrito has been my weeknight dinner savior for months. Combining crispy fries, seasoned chicken, and cheese into one handheld meal creates the ultimate comfort food that's both satisfying and simple to prepare.

I first created these burritos when my teenagers had friends over unexpectedly. The combination was such a hit that it quickly became our Friday night tradition when everyone's too tired to cook but still craving something special.

Ingredients

• Crinkle cut fries: Provide the perfect texture; look for thicker cuts that hold up well inside the burrito
• Butter: Adds richness when cooking the chicken; choose unsalted to control seasoning
• Chicken breasts: Boneless and skinless work best for quick even cooking
• Salt and pepper: Basic seasonings that enhance the chicken's natural flavor
• Paprika: Adds a subtle smoky flavor and beautiful color to the chicken
• Garlic powder: Infuses savory notes throughout without burning like fresh garlic
• Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce: The star ingredient bringing restaurant flavor home
• Burrito-size tortillas: Look for the 10-inch variety for proper rolling capacity
• Shredded mozzarella cheese: Mild flavor and excellent meltability
• Pancho's white queso: Adds creaminess and binds everything together

How To Make Parmesan Garlic Chicken Burritos

Prepare the chicken:

Cut chicken breasts into uniform cubes or strips about ¾-inch pieces to ensure even cooking throughout. Make sure your knife is sharp for clean cuts, which helps the chicken cook more evenly.

Cook the fries:

Follow package instructions for cooking fries until golden and crispy. For best results, use an air fryer at 380°F for about 15 minutes, shaking halfway through. The fries need to be crispy since they'll soften slightly in the burrito.

Sauté the chicken:

Melt butter completely in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to foam but doesn't brown. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure proper browning. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken reaches 165°F and develops golden edges.

Add the signature sauce:

Reduce heat to low and pour in just enough Parmesan Garlic sauce to coat the chicken pieces thoroughly. Toss gently for about 30 seconds to warm the sauce without reducing it. The chicken should glisten with sauce but not be swimming in it.

Prepare components:

Heat white queso in microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable. Warm tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.

Assemble the burritos:

Lay a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Add a row of fries followed by a portion of the sauced chicken. Drizzle with warm queso. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up, ensuring all ingredients stay tucked inside.

Toast to perfection:

Place assembled burritos seam side down in a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The heat seals the tortilla and melts the cheese, creating the perfect texture contrast.

The Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic sauce truly makes this recipe special. I discovered it during football season when we ordered wings every Sunday and I became obsessed with this particular flavor. Now I keep a bottle in my refrigerator at all times for quick flavor boosts to ordinary meals.

Make Ahead Options

You can prepare all components separately and store them in the refrigerator. Cook the chicken and fries then assemble the burritos just before serving. For best results warm the components separately before assembly. The chicken mixture keeps well for 3 days in an airtight container and can be quickly reheated in a skillet with a splash of water to refresh the sauce.

Smart Substitutions

If you can't find Buffalo Wild Wings sauce try mixing 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and a dash of Italian seasoning. Sweet potato fries work beautifully for a more nutritious twist. For a lighter version, use grilled chicken and whole wheat tortillas.

Serving Suggestions

These burritos are substantial on their own but pair wonderfully with a simple side salad dressed with vinaigrette to cut through the richness. For a fun presentation slice the burritos on a diagonal and serve with extra warmed queso and Parmesan Garlic sauce in small dipping bowls. During game days, set up a burrito bar allowing everyone to customize their own with additional toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, or pickled jalapeños.
