Equipment
- Large skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Tortilla warmer or microwave
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or blend
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6-8 large tortillas
- Optional toppings: Chopped tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, avocado
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add the shredded cheese and stir until melted and delicious.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
- Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Add any desired toppings, such as chopped tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, or avocado.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
- Cut the wraps in half (optional) and serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier wrap, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting results. Cook the chicken mixture ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Try variations like Mediterranean with feta and olives, Buffalo with buffalo sauce and blue cheese, or BBQ with BBQ sauce and coleslaw.
