Description

Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps are a quick and comforting dinner option combining tender, seasoned chicken with fresh garlic and melted mozzarella or cheddar cheese, all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. This flavor-packed recipe is easy to customize and perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 4 soft flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Garlic: Finely mince the garlic cloves. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the diced chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper, cooking for 7-10 minutes until golden and fully cooked through.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken cooks, gently warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them soft and pliable.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the warm tortillas and evenly distribute the cooked chicken and garlic mixture down the center of each. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the hot chicken to allow it to melt.
  4. Fold and Cook: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly. Place each wrap seam-side down into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing in half. Add fresh herbs or extra toppings as desired, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic ensures the best flavor compared to pre-minced or garlic powder.
  • Don’t Overcook Chicken: Cook chicken just until done to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Choose the Right Cheese: Melting cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack gives the best gooey texture.
  • Warm Tortillas Properly: Prevent cracking and make wrapping easier by warming tortillas before assembling.
  • Press Wraps While Cooking: Gently pressing with a spatula helps you achieve a crispy, golden exterior.
