Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional: Chopped fresh parsley for topping
  • Optional: Diced tomatoes for topping
  • Optional: Shredded lettuce for topping

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • tongs
  • spatula
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Microwave or dry skillet (for warming tortillas)

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken cubes generously with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Continue to simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package instructions (microwave or dry skillet).
  8. Place about 1/4 of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add any desired toppings (parsley, tomatoes, lettuce).
  9. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom.
  10. Brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter.
  11. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  12. Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure the chicken is well-drained to prevent soggy wraps. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference. Warming the tortillas before filling makes them more pliable and less likely to tear. Toasting the wraps in butter adds a delicious crispy texture and seals the edges. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness. For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
