Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Flavoring
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili flakes
Cheese and Wrap
- 1 cup shredded cheese (blend of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 4 soft flour tortillas
Extras
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce
Optional Variations
- Grilled bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for veggie boost
- Jalapeños or hot sauce for spicy twist
- Vegan cheese or avocado slices for dairy-free version
- Large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps for low-carb option
- Shredded rotisserie chicken, turkey, or tofu as alternative protein
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the chicken, season with salt, pepper, and optional spices if using. Cook until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add Cheese: Lower the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the cooked chicken in the pan. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt gently and become gooey, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat and spread a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt down the center of each. Add a handful of fresh spinach or lettuce, then pile on the cheesy garlic chicken mixture. Fold the sides and roll tightly to secure all the filling inside.
- Optional Toasting: For a crispy finish, lightly toast each wrap in a clean pan or grill press for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and warm throughout.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best and most robust flavor.
- Don’t overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
- Combining mozzarella and cheddar cheese gives the perfect melt and sharpness.
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent cracking during rolling.
- Wrap the tortillas tightly to ensure fillings stay inside and eating is less messy.
