Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large tortilla wraps (flour or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for sautéing garlic)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking chicken)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ½ tsp paprika (for a smoky flavor)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano (optional, adds herbiness)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces.
  2. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the seasoned chicken.
  4. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
  5. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

🔹 Pro Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and spices for 15-30 minutes before cooking.


Step 2: Sauté the Garlic

  1. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30-45 seconds, stirring frequently until fragrant.
  3. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the garlic butter mixture.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay a tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface.
  2. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla.
  3. Add a portion of the garlic butter chicken on top of the cheese.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.

Step 4: Toast the Wraps

  1. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place the folded wrap in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove from heat and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing.

Step 5: Mastering the Fold – Ensuring a Perfectly Sealed Wrap

  • Position the filling properly – Keep the chicken and cheese slightly off-center.
  • Fold the sides first – This prevents filling from spilling.
  • Roll tightly – Keeps the wrap compact.
  • Seal the wrap – Place seam-side down in the skillet to help it stay closed.

🔹 Pro Tip: Wrap tightly in parchment paper before toasting for a more secure hold.

Notes

How to Make It Extra Crispy

  • Brush a light layer of butter or olive oil on the outside before toasting.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet or grill pan for even crispiness.
  • Press the wrap lightly with a spatula while cooking.
