Crispy, garlicky chicken wrapped in a warm tortilla with gooey mozzarella—simple, cheesy, and very satisfying.
Ingredients (4 wraps)
Chicken
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ÂĽ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or baby spinach
- 1 tomato, sliced (optional)
Garlic Sauce (optional but recommended)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Cook the garlic chicken
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add chicken strips and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
- Cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and nearly done.
- Add minced garlic and cook another 1–2 minutes until fragrant and chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove from heat.
2. Warm the tortillas
- Heat tortillas in a dry pan for 10–15 seconds per side so they become soft and flexible.
3. Assemble the wraps
On each tortilla:
- Spread garlic sauce (if using)
- Add cooked garlic chicken
- Sprinkle mozzarella generously
- Add lettuce/spinach and tomato if desired
4. Melt the cheese (2 options)
Option A: Pan melt (best texture)
- Place wrap seam-side down in a hot skillet
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts
Option B: Oven melt
- Bake wraps at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes
5. Serve
- Slice in half
- Serve warm with extra garlic sauce or ranch
🔥 Tips for extra flavor
- Add a little honey or BBQ sauce for a sweet-savory version
- Use smoked mozzarella for deeper flavor
- Add crispy bacon for a richer wrap
- Toast the tortilla in butter for a golden crunch
If you want, I can also make:
- Air fryer version
- Meal prep version (wraps that reheat well)
- Or a spicy “buffalo garlic chicken wrap” variation
