Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely chopped or shredded
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1–1.5 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar recommended)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Herbs and Spices

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Pinch of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: Cook the chicken breast thoroughly by baking, boiling, or grilling and then finely chop or shred it. In a skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Add the cooked chicken, season with salt, pepper, and optional spices like paprika or chili flakes, then cook for a few minutes to blend the flavors well.
  2. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the warm chicken and garlic mixture into the center of each tortilla, then evenly sprinkle shredded cheese on top to ensure every bite is cheesy and flavorful.
  3. Roll and Secure: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to keep all fillings contained, preventing any spillage during baking and making the wraps neat and easy to handle.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to encourage a golden and crispy crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove the wraps from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly, making each bite perfectly gooey and delicious. Slice if desired and serve with optional garnishes or sides.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for best flavor and aroma.
  • Don’t overfill the wraps to avoid bursting during baking.
  • Brushing olive oil on the outside of the wraps helps achieve a crispy texture.
  • Choose cheeses that melt well such as mozzarella or mild cheddar for creamy interiors.
  • Allow wraps to rest briefly after baking to prevent cheese spillage when slicing.
