Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts (about 1 pound, sliced into thin strips)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: Lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
- During the last 2 minutes, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and stir gently until melted.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- Heat the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Add the cheesy garlic chicken filling to the center of each tortilla. Top with optional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or onions.
- Fold the tortillas securely, tucking in the sides and rolling tightly.
- Optional Toasting:
- Lightly toast the assembled wraps in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side for added crispness.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice wraps diagonally and serve hot.
Notes
- To make a healthier version, use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas and reduced-fat cheese.
- For extra flavor, add toppings like jalapeños, spinach, or sautéed mushrooms.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
