A quick and easy recipe for cheesy garlic chicken wraps, featuring tender chicken, gooey melted cheese, and the perfect hint of garlic. These wraps are a satisfying meal for lunch or dinner, and they’re easy to customize to suit various dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder as a substitute)
- 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat/gluten-free tortillas)
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mince fresh garlic or measure garlic powder. Grate the cheese.
- In a bowl, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter or add olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for easier folding.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface, sprinkle a layer of cheese in the center, add a portion of cooked chicken, and top with more cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly to create the wrap.
- Toast the assembled wrap in a clean skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm with your favorite side dish or dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with grilled vegetables or tofu.
- Gluten-free tortillas can be used for those with gluten sensitivities.
- To add a spicy kick, include diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
