Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
These wraps are a delicious combination of garlic-infused chicken and melted cheese wrapped in warm tortillas, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Wrap Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
- 1 cup diced bell peppers or spinach (optional) Feel free to add other vegetables.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking Chicken
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the marinated chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Assembling Wraps
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
- On each tortilla, add a portion of cooked chicken, a generous handful of shredded cheese, and optional vegetables if desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it from the bottom up, ensuring all ingredients are secured inside.
Final Touch
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the wrapped sides down for about 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden crust.
- Flip the wraps and toast the other side.
- Slice the wraps in half and serve with dips like salsa or sour cream.
Notes
For perfectly cooked chicken, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Add red pepper flakes for heat. For vegetarian options, substitute chicken with chickpeas or black beans.
