Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium-sized tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for added richness)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Shred the Chicken: After the chicken has rested, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat and spoon the shredded chicken onto the center of each tortilla. Drizzle the garlic butter over the chicken and top with cheddar cheese.
- Cook the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly into a wrap. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Notes
- Pro Tips: You can add extra veggies like bell peppers or spinach for added flavor and nutrition. For a spicier twist, try adding jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wraps.
- Storage: Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet for the best texture.
- Common Mistakes to Avoid: Make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked before shredding. Avoid overcooking the wraps in the skillet, as this can lead to a dry filling.
