Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lettuce or spinach leaves
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional)
- Ranch dressing or your favorite sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Start by trimming the chicken breasts and cutting them into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder if you like a bit of spice.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the seasoned chicken pieces. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. For a quick alternative, try the Creamy Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine for similar savory flavors.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a spoonful of ranch dressing or your preferred sauce, if using. Place a handful of lettuce or spinach in the center, followed by the cooked garlic chicken. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top to seal the wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- If you want warm, crispy wraps, heat a skillet or sandwich press. Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and the cheese melts.
Notes
- Use freshly minced garlic for the most aromatic flavor.
- Shredded cheese melts best when it’s at room temperature.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, add sliced jalapenos or hot sauce.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas and add extra veggies like bell peppers or cucumbers.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes or re-crisp in a skillet.
