How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Sauté the garlic: Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and lightly golden.
  2. Season the chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the pan with the garlic. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and well-coated with the seasonings.
  3. Add the cheese: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese begins to melt and combines with the chicken, creating a gooey, cheesy filling.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing the filling in the center of each one. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to create a wrap.
  5. Toast the wraps: Brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter to give it a crispy, golden finish. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Slice in half, if desired, and serve hot!

Helpful Tips:

  • Make it extra crispy: For an even crispier wrap, you can pop them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 5 minutes after toasting them in the skillet.
  • Add veggies: For a more balanced meal, add sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or even avocado inside the wraps before toasting.
  • Cheese variations: Feel free to swap out the mozzarella and cheddar with other cheeses like Monterey Jack, Colby, or even pepper jack for a bit of spice.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary preferences.
