Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & Protein

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and thinly sliced

Aromatics & Oils

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Dairy & Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheese blend (mozzarella and cheddar)

Wraps

  • 4 soft flour tortillas

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional

  • Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), chopped, for garnish
  • Additional veggies like sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach (optional)
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce for spice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season them lightly with salt and pepper to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic, and stir until fragrant but not browned. Then add the chicken strips and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are golden and cooked through.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Briefly warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave to make them soft and easier to roll without cracking.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese in the center. Add a layer of the cooked garlic chicken, and top with optional fresh herbs or veggies as desired.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Fold the tortilla around the fillings, then place it back in the skillet over low heat for a couple of minutes on each side. Press slightly to melt the cheese and achieve a light golden crisp on the wraps.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Layer half of the cheese before the chicken and half after to help bind the ingredients.
  • Warm tortillas to prevent cracking and to assist cheese melting.
  • Press wraps while cooking to create a crispy outer layer and ensure all ingredients hold together.
  • Leftover wraps can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness and melty cheese.
