Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: 2 boneless, skinless breasts – The main protein in the recipe, providing lean protein.
- Garlic: 3-4 cloves, minced – Adds savory depth of flavor to the chicken.
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons – For cooking the chicken and adding richness.
- Shredded Cheese: 1 1/2 cups (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend) – Adds creamy texture and flavor.
- Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas – To wrap everything together.
- Lettuce: 1 cup – Adds freshness and crunch to the wraps.
- Tomatoes: 1 medium, sliced – For added juiciness and flavor.
- Onions: 1 small, thinly sliced – Adds sweetness and texture.
- Salt and Pepper: To taste – For seasoning.
- Optional: Sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce for garnish.
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Prepare the Wrap Ingredients: While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. Grate the cheese if you’re using a block of cheese. Prepare any additional toppings, such as sour cream or salsa.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a handful of lettuce and sliced tomatoes in the center of the tortilla. Top with a few slices of the garlic chicken and a generous amount of shredded cheese. Add sliced onions or any other desired toppings.
- Wrap the Tortillas: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up from the bottom, securing all the ingredients inside.
- Serve: Serve the Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps immediately, garnished with any optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce. Enjoy!
