Description
Quick and flavorful cheesy garlic chicken wraps that come together in under 30 minutes, perfect for busy weeknights and customizable to your taste.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced or diced
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1½ cups (150g) shredded cheese (mix of mozzarella and sharp cheddar recommended)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins:
- 1 cup (30g) fresh spinach
- ½ cup (75g) roasted red peppers, sliced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) mayonnaise or ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by slicing chicken breasts into thin strips and mincing garlic. Prepare optional spinach and roasted peppers. Shred cheese if needed.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 4 minutes until golden. Flip chicken.
- Add minced garlic after flipping the chicken, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until chicken is cooked through and garlic is soft. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Lay out tortillas on a clean surface. Spread mayonnaise or ranch dressing if using. Divide cooked chicken and garlic evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and add spinach or roasted peppers if desired.
- Roll up each wrap tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Broil or bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes until cheese melts and wraps are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a minute, slice in half if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
[‘Add garlic halfway through cooking chicken to avoid bitterness.’, ‘Thinly slice chicken for faster cooking.’, ‘Use a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese for best melt and flavor.’, ‘Warm tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable.’, ‘Cook chicken in batches if skillet is not large enough to avoid steaming.’, ‘Mayonnaise or ranch dressing inside the wrap helps prevent sogginess.’, ‘Reheat wraps in skillet or oven to keep them crispy; microwave may soften tortillas.’, ‘Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version.’]
