Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips or bite-sized pieces
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (a blend of mozzarella and cheddar)
  • 4–6 flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Extras

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Avocado slices
  • Ranch dressing drizzle
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce (for spicy kick)
  • Additional veggies like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the boneless chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces for faster cooking and easy wrapping.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not burnt. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the chicken, cover the pan briefly to melt the cheese completely, creating a gooey layer.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: While the cheese melts, warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat, add a handful of fresh spinach or lettuce, spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture on top, and add any optional extras like sliced tomatoes or avocado. Roll up tightly.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Slice wraps in half if desired for easier eating, and serve immediately to enjoy warm, melty goodness.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced for better flavor.
  • Cut chicken pieces uniformly to ensure even cooking.
  • Warm tortillas just before assembling to keep them flexible.
  • Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese for the best melt and flavor.
  • Avoid overfilling wraps to make rolling easier and reduce mess.
