Ingredients
Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into small pieces
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning Optional
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas or your favorite soft wraps
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a combination of cheeses
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil or butter for cooking
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish Optional
- 1 cup Optional vegetables such as sliced bell peppers, onions, spinach, or lettuce
- Optional sauce, such as garlic mayonnaise, ranch dressing, sour cream, or spicy mayo
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken into small, even pieces so it cooks quickly and evenly. Season it with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning if using.
Cooking
- Heat a little olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is browned on the outside and cooked through.
- Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant, avoiding burning the garlic.
Assembly
- Heat the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and flexible.
- Place the cooked chicken in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and add any preferred vegetables or sauce.
- Fold in the sides, then roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap.
Toasting
- Return the wraps to the skillet seam-side down. Cook for a few minutes on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden, and the cheese has melted.
- Allow the wraps to cool for a minute, then slice them in half. Garnish with fresh herbs or serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Allow leftover wraps to cool before placing them in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap the cooled, assembled wraps individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
