How to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the seasonings.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Then, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface and spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each one. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on each tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortillas over the filling to create a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Remove the wraps from the pan, cut each one in half, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
How to Serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps are best served hot and can be enjoyed on their own or with sides like a simple green salad, fresh vegetable sticks, or some chips. You can also offer extra creamy garlic sauce for dipping!
How to Store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best to keep the wraps separated with parchment paper to avoid sticking. To reheat, simply place them in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warmed through.
Tips to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
- For extra flavor, consider adding some chopped bell peppers or spinach when cooking the chicken.
- You can use any type of cheese you like, or mix different cheeses for variety.
- If you prefer a crunchier wrap, grill them longer until they reach your desired crispness.
Variation
For a healthier version, swap regular flour tortillas for whole wheat or spinach tortillas. You can also replace the creamy garlic sauce with a homemade yogurt-based sauce for a lighter option.
