Recipe Overview
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts or thighs, cooked and sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons garlic butter (for brushing)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add cooked chicken slices, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and toss to coat evenly.
2. Assemble the wraps
Lay out tortillas and sprinkle cheese down the center. Add the garlic chicken on top, then fold tightly into a wrap or burrito shape.
3. Cook the wraps
Brush each wrap with garlic butter and toast in a skillet or panini press over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve and enjoy
Slice each wrap in half, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce — ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.
