Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Wraps and Base Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely and combine with olive oil to create an aromatic garlic infusion.
- Season the chicken breasts thoroughly with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and partially cooked.
- Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a cutting board and slice into thin, uniform strips.
- Warm the flour tortillas briefly in the microwave or on a skillet to enhance flexibility.
- Spread the garlic-olive oil mixture across each tortilla, creating a flavorful base.
- Distribute the chicken strips evenly in the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle a generous blend of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the chicken.
- Fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly to create compact wraps.
- Arrange the wrapped chicken bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tortillas turn crispy and golden, and cheese melts completely.
- Remove from oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
- Let the wraps rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Enhance tortilla flexibility by warming them slightly, preventing cracking and making rolling easier.
- Searing chicken before baking creates a beautiful golden exterior and locks in moisture for tender, juicy meat.
- Opt for low-fat cheese options or use dairy-free alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising flavor.
- Experiment with additional herbs like basil or thyme to customize the wrap’s taste profile and add personal flair.
