Kitchen Equipment Needed

- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients Overview
- Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a juicy and flavorful filling.
- Cheese: A combination of mozzarella and cheddar creates the ultimate gooey, cheesy experience.
- Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best for wrapping and holding all the ingredients together.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic or garlic powder infuses the dish with bold flavor.
- Butter and Seasonings: Butter enhances the garlic flavor, and Italian seasoning adds a herby touch.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced or shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. - Melt the Butter with Garlic:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic (if using) and stir until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes. - Combine the Cheese and Garlic Butter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and half of the garlic butter. Mix well. - Assemble the Wraps:
Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer with a portion of the cooked chicken and top with the cheesy garlic mixture. - Fold and Grill:
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly into a wrap. Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook the wraps seam-side down for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. - Brush with Garlic Butter:
Brush the remaining garlic butter over the top of the wraps for extra flavor. - Serve:
Slice in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara.
Recipe Tips
- Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the filling.
- Use Leftovers: Shredded rotisserie chicken works great and saves time.
- Crispier Wraps: For extra crispiness, press the wraps gently with a spatula while cooking.
