Description
Tender chicken, gooey melted cheese, and garlicky goodness wrapped in a warm tortilla with a crispy exterior—ready in under 30 minutes and perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (~1 lb / 450g), boneless and skinless
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (~100g, mozzarella and cheddar mix)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter (~30g)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: Spinach, bell peppers, red onion, sour cream
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a mixing bowl with minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside.
- Lay out a tortilla and sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheese in the center. Add a scoop of the cooked chicken on top. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden and crispy.
- Slice each wrap in half if desired, or serve them whole while warm and melty.
Notes
[‘Use fresh garlic for bold flavor.’, ‘Keep the pan at medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas.’, ‘Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.’, ‘Let the chicken rest after cooking to prevent soggy wraps.’]
