Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 4 large tortillas
Optional Toppings:
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Avocado
Instructions
- Sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet with olive oil, infusing them with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Ensure each side achieves a golden-brown exterior and the meat is thoroughly cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and slice into thin, uniform strips.
- Arrange the soft tortillas on a clean surface and generously distribute shredded cheese across each wrap’s center.
- Carefully layer the warm, sliced chicken directly over the cheese, ensuring even coverage.
- Craft the wraps by folding the tortilla edges inward, creating a neat, compact package.
- Return the assembled wraps to the skillet, allowing them to crisp and caramelize until the exterior turns a rich golden hue and the cheese melts into a creamy consistency.
- Once perfectly toasted, plate the wraps and embellish with fresh, crisp lettuce or juicy tomato garnishes for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is thoroughly cooked by checking internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer for food safety.
- Choose whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to make this recipe more diet-friendly and nutritionally balanced.
- Customize flavor profiles by adding fresh herbs like basil or cilantro for extra zest and aromatic complexity.
- Substitute dairy cheese with plant-based alternatives like vegan cheese for lactose-intolerant or dairy-free eaters, maintaining the wrap’s creamy texture.
