Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella and cheddar blend recommended)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 cup sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini
  • Dash of chili flakes or hot sauce (for spicy kick)
  • Barbecue sauce (to mix in with chicken for BBQ flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and finely mince the garlic cloves to prepare for sautéing.
  2. Cook the Chicken and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, adding minced garlic midway to release aroma without burning.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly distribute the cooked chicken and garlic mixture onto each. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the warm chicken to begin melting.
  4. Add Optional Fillings: Add fresh spinach, lettuce, or sautéed veggies now for added crunch and flavor contrast as desired.
  5. Roll and Toast: Roll each tortilla tightly and place it back into the skillet over low heat. Press gently and toast until the wrap is crisp and the cheese has fully melted inside.

Notes

  • Use high-quality melting cheese like mozzarella or cheddar for creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • Do not overcook chicken; it should be just cooked through and juicy.
  • Warm tortillas beforehand to prevent cracking during rolling.
  • Layer ingredients evenly to keep each bite balanced and avoid fillings falling out.
  • Toast wraps slowly over low heat to ensure cheese melts completely and the wrap crisps up nicely.
