Ingredients & Equipment

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite!)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional Toppings: Lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream, guacamole, salsa

Equipment:

Large skillet
Mixing bowl
Measuring spoons & cups
Cutting board
Knife

Step-by-Step Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor).
Cook the Chicken: Heat the large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 15-20 seconds, or wrapped in foil in a warm oven.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Sprinkle with a layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Add a generous portion of the cooked chicken.
Add Toppings: Top with your favorite toppings – lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etc.
Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom.
Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your Irresistible Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps!

Pro Tips

Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Marinate Longer for More Flavor: If you have time, marinating the chicken for a longer period (up to 2 hours) will result in a more flavorful wrap.
Toast the Tortillas: Lightly toasting the tortillas in a dry skillet adds a nice texture and prevents them from becoming soggy.
Cheese Blend is Key: Using a combination of cheddar and mozzarella creates the perfect cheesy pull and flavor.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little heat.

Storing Leftovers

Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, assembled wraps are best enjoyed immediately as the tortillas can become soggy. If you have leftover components (chicken, toppings), store them separately and assemble fresh wraps when you’re ready to eat. Reheat the chicken thoroughly before using.
