Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces to ensure quick cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Sauté with Garlic: Add minced garlic to the heated pan and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, allowing the garlic to infuse the chicken with rich flavor.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken cooks, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until they become pliable and easy to roll.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and layer with fresh spinach or lettuce. Add the garlic chicken on top, then generously sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over the hot chicken so the cheese starts to melt.
- Roll and Melt: Roll the tortilla tightly and place it back in the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the cheese is fully melted and the wrap is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Notes
- Use room temperature chicken for even cooking and better caramelization.
- Don’t skip fresh garlic; it provides a cleaner, sharper flavor than powders.
- Keep tortillas warm to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Choose melting cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for creamy, stretchy texture.
- Cook on medium heat to crisp the wraps without burning the cheese.
