Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Dairy

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar recommended)

Produce and Herbs

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Other Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips for quick and even cooking. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken with Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes. Let the chicken rest for a minute off heat to retain its juices.
  3. Assemble the Wrap: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken and garlic mixture in the center of each tortilla. While the chicken is still hot, sprinkle shredded cheese liberally over it to allow the cheese to melt.
  4. Wrap and Heat: Fold the edges of each tortilla tightly over the filling to form wraps. Place the wraps back into the skillet or use a panini press. Heat briefly on each side until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese melts completely, covering the skillet if needed to trap heat for even melting.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wraps from heat and slice in half if desired. Serve immediately for the best ooey-gooey cheese experience, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for a brighter, more aromatic flavor than garlic powder.
  • Do not overfill the wraps to prevent them from falling apart during cooking or eating.
  • Lightly warm the tortillas before assembling to improve flexibility and prevent tearing.
  • Cover the skillet when heating the assembled wraps to ensure even cheese melting.
  • Let the chicken rest briefly after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
