Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into thin strips

Aromatics & Seasoning

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Cooking Essentials

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts or thighs into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Lightly season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Immediately add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
  3. Add the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the cooked chicken. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt and bind with the chicken for a gooey texture.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft and flexible. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken onto each tortilla. Add optional fresh herbs if desired, then fold or roll up tightly to form the wraps.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: For a crispy exterior, lightly toast the assembled wraps in the skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side. Serve hot and enjoy the melty, flavorful bites bursting with garlic and cheese.

Notes

  • Choose melting cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for creamy texture without overpowering garlic.
  • Avoid overcooking chicken; cook just until opaque and juicy to prevent dryness.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced or powdered for brighter flavor.
  • Warm tortillas properly to prevent cracking when rolling and to keep bites tender.
  • Optional toasting adds a delightful crunch to the wraps.
  • Prep garlic and shred cheese ahead of time to save cooking time.
