Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Garlic Mixture

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper. Place them in the hot skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and juices run clear.
  2. Rest the chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes to retain its juices and enhance tenderness.
  3. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant but not browned, allowing the garlic flavor to infuse into the pan.
  4. Combine chicken and garlic: Shred or chop the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the sautéed garlic, stirring to combine evenly.
  5. Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and garlic mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 3 minutes over low heat, creating a gooey, cheesy coating.
  6. Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon generous portions of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it evenly but leaving space at the edges for wrapping.
  7. Roll the wraps: Tightly roll each tortilla like a burrito, folding in the edges as you go to encase the filling securely.
  8. Serve: Serve the wraps immediately while warm. Optionally, accompany with sour cream and hot sauce for added creaminess and spice.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
  • For a lower carb option, substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like sautéed bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrients.
  • Leftover wraps can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
  • To make it spicier, add chili flakes or use pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella.
