Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula
  • Griddle or second skillet (optional)
  • Paper towels
  • Oven (optional)
  • Baking sheet (if baking)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this will make it bitter.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle each tortilla evenly with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Top with the cooked chicken and garlic mixture.
  5. Fold the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll up from the bottom.
  6. Toast the Wraps: Brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter.
  7. Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Alternatively, you can bake these in a 375°F oven for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Serve: Cut the wraps in half and garnish with fresh parsley (if using). Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before cooking to prevent soggy wraps. Sauté the garlic gently after the chicken is cooked to avoid bitterness. Use a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan for optimal flavor and texture. Brush the tortilla with melted butter before toasting for a crispy exterior. Wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven.
