How to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
How to Serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Serve these cheesy wraps hot with extra creamy garlic sauce on the side for dipping. They pair well with a simple salad or some crispy chips. You can also serve them with fresh veggies for a balanced meal.
How to Store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave before serving to regain some of their crispy texture.
Tips to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
- Be sure to cut the chicken into small, even pieces for quick cooking.
- Experiment with different kinds of cheese, like pepper jack for a spicy kick!
- If you love veggies, add some bell peppers or spinach to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
Variation
You can easily customize your wraps. Try adding other ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, sliced jalapeños, or even bacon for added flavor. Different sauces, like ranch or barbecue, can also make for exciting variations.
FAQs
1. Can I use grilled chicken instead of diced chicken?
Yes, grilled chicken can be used. Just chop it up and follow the same steps for assembling the wraps.
2. What can I use instead of flour tortillas?
Tortilla alternatives could be whole wheat tortillas, corn tortillas, or even lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
3. How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
The chicken should be golden brown on the outside and have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
