Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 large burrito-size tortillas
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: diced tomatoes
  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce
  • Optional toppings: sour cream
  • Optional toppings: salsa
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Paper towels
  • Dry skillet or microwave (for warming tortillas)
  • Panini press (optional)
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally if thick. Pat dry with paper towels and drizzle with olive oil. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet and let rest before shredding or dicing.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add shredded or diced chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlicky butter.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and gooey.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
  7. Place a generous amount of cheesy garlic chicken filling in the center of each tortilla. Add desired toppings.
  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly.
  9. Optional: Toast the wraps in a dry skillet or panini press for a few minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Cut the wraps in half (optional) and serve immediately.

Notes

Don't overfill the wraps. Warm the tortillas before filling. Experiment with different cheeses and toppings. For spicier wraps, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. You can prepare the chicken filling a day or two in advance and store it in the refrigerator. To prevent soggy wraps, wrap the filling separately from the tortillas if packing for lunch. Store leftover wraps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or microwave, but they may become soggy. Reheat the filling separately from the tortillas for best results.
