Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Skillet or grill pan
• Mixing bowl
• Cheese grater
• 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Combine the Cheese and Garlic Butter:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and half of the garlic butter. Mix well.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Brush with Garlic Butter:
   Brush the remaining garlic butter over the top of the wraps for extra flavor.
7. 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.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Dipping Sauces: Ranch, garlic aioli, or honey mustard pair well.
• Sides: A simple green salad, roasted veggies, or French fries make a complete meal.
• Soup: Pair with a comforting tomato or chicken soup for a cozy dinner.
