Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite meltable cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Additional toppings: sliced lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- To make the wraps more pliable, lightly warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds.
- Lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the sliced chicken in the center. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and add your favorite toppings such as sliced lettuce, tomatoes, or avocado. Drizzle garlic or hot sauce if desired.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling. For a melty, crispy exterior, place the wraps in a heated skillet or grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the wrap gains a slight crispiness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro inside the wraps.
- Use a cheese blend such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for more spice and flavor.
- Warm the tortillas before wrapping to prevent tearing and ensure a soft, pliable texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave or skillet for 1-2 minutes.
