Description
Delicious cheesy chicken wraps that are perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 4–6 cloves freshly minced garlic
- 1 to 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1 to 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Standard 8 to 10-inch flour tortillas
- Butter or olive oil for cooking
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons cream cheese or sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Chicken (if not already done): Season your boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or poach in simmering water for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Let the chicken cool slightly, then shred it using two forks or dice it into small pieces.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken with freshly minced garlic, shredded cheeses, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. If using a creamy binder, add it now and mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Scoop about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the cheesy chicken garlic filling onto the center of the tortilla, shaping it into a log. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, tuck it in, fold in the sides, and roll tightly from the bottom up.
- Cook the Wraps: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat with butter or olive oil. Place 2-3 wraps seam-side down in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve Immediately: Transfer the cooked wraps to a cutting board and slice them in half diagonally before serving. Enjoy hot and fresh!
