Description
Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps combine tender, flavorful chicken with melted mozzarella and cheddar cheese, all wrapped in a crispy tortilla for a comforting, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 medium flour tortillas
1 tablespoon butter
Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until fully done. Dice into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant.
- Add the diced chicken to the pan with garlic and toss to coat. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese while the chicken is still hot to melt the cheese slightly.
- Lay a tortilla flat, spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center, fold the sides in, and roll tightly.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
- Once cooked, remove the wraps and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into halves or quarters for serving.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach.
- For added spice, include red pepper flakes or jalapeño slices with the chicken mixture.
- Add crispy bacon crumbles for a smoky twist.
- Swap mozzarella and cheddar for provolone, gouda, or pepper jack for different flavors.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days in the fridge.
