Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnishing (optional)
- Optional extras: sliced jalapeños, chopped bell peppers, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Mince the garlic and slice the chicken breasts into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the chicken strips, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the cooked chicken mixture over the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Add any extra fillings like sliced jalapeños or bell peppers if desired. Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides to form a compact wrap.
- Place the assembled wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until the cheese is gooey and the tortilla has a slight crisp. For an extra cheesy finish, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for maximum melting gooeyness.
- Ensure the chicken strips are thin and evenly cooked for consistent flavor.
- Customize the wraps with your favorite herbs, spices, or vegetables for a personalized experience.
- For a crispy texture, pan-fry the wraps or broil them for a minute after cooking.
