Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (for optional creamy sauce)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips or cubes. Mince the garlic cloves finely and chop fresh parsley if desired. Set all ingredients aside for assembly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, approximately 7-8 minutes. Ensure the garlic is evenly distributed for rich flavor.
- Lay a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt if you prefer a creamy component. Spoon some of the cooked garlic chicken onto the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Optional: add chopped parsley for freshness. Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling.
- Place the assembled wraps seam side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted, creating that irresistible gooey cheese wrap texture. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for a crispy exterior or microwave for convenience.
- For extra flavor, add sliced bell peppers, onions, or spinach before rolling up the wraps.
- You can experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or Swiss for variety.
