Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Garlic Mixture
- 2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wraps and Cooking
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook and Prepare Chicken: If not already cooked, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and black pepper and cook it by baking, sautéing, or grilling until fully done. Dice the chicken into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté it just until golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Combine Chicken and Garlic: Add the diced chicken to the pan, tossing it with the garlic oil to evenly infuse the flavor. Remove the pan from heat.
- Add Cheeses: While the chicken is still hot, stir in both the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, allowing them to begin melting and blending with the chicken mixture.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito to encase the filling securely.
- Cook the Wraps: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and press gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
- Rest and Serve: Once all wraps are cooked, remove them from the skillet and allow to rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast to save time or to meal prep in advance.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to taste for milder or stronger flavor.
- Butter helps achieve a crispy, golden exterior on the wraps; substitute with olive oil if preferred for a lighter option.
- Optional parsley adds a fresh visual and flavor contrast but can be omitted.
- Serve these wraps with a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
