Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (about 10 oz)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 4–6 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: handful of spinach or arugula
- Optional: thinly sliced red onion
- Optional: sliced tomatoes
- Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)
- Optional: hot sauce
Instructions
- Shred or chop cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic cloves. Slice any optional veggies.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add chicken to the skillet and toss with garlic. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until chicken is heated through.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken. Stir until cheese melts and mixture is gooey.
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds each until soft.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/3 cup of the cheesy garlic chicken filling down the center. Add optional toppings if desired.
- Fold the sides in and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
- Optional: Return wraps to the skillet, seam side down, and toast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.
- Slice wraps in half, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with your favorite dips or sides.
Notes
Use freshly minced garlic for best flavor. Don’t overstuff tortillas to prevent tearing. Toasting wraps in the skillet adds a crispy exterior. For gluten-free or dairy-free options, substitute tortillas and cheese as needed. Prep chicken filling ahead for quick assembly. Leftovers taste great and can be reheated in the oven or skillet.
