Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: Boneless and skinless, sliced into strips.
- Olive Oil: For cooking the chicken and adding flavor.
- Minced Garlic: Freshly minced garlic adds a robust flavor.
- Cheddar Cheese: Shredded, or you can use mozzarella for a gooey texture.
- Salt and Pepper: To taste.
- Paprika or Smoked Paprika: For added flavor and a touch of smokiness.
- Fresh Herbs: Chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish.
- Flour Tortillas: Soft, pliable tortillas that will hold all the fillings.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
- Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken strips, a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss everything to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the Cheese
- Sprinkle Cheese: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top while the skillet is still on low heat. Allow the cheese to melt, forming a creamy and cheesy layer around the chicken.
- Remove from Heat: Turn off the heat and set the cheesy chicken aside.
3. Assemble the Wraps
- Warm the Tortillas: You can warm the tortillas on a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them more pliable.
- Add the Filling: Place the cheesy chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it evenly in the center. Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and color.
- Fold and Wrap: Fold the tortilla sides over the filling, then roll it up tightly.
4. Toast the Wraps (Optional)
- Pan-Grill for Extra Crunch: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat, and place each wrap seam-side down to seal it. Toast for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
