Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 14 oz/400g), sliced thinly or chopped
  • 3–4 cloves fresh garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (2g)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (180g)
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (85g)
  • 4–6 large flour tortillas (10-inch/25cm)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (3g), for garnish (optional)
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1 cup sautéed spinach or baby kale (30g), wilted
  • 1/2 cup sliced red onion or sweet bell peppers (60g)
  • Sriracha or hot sauce, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice or chop chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted and foamy, add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Add more oil if the pan looks dry.
  4. If using optional veggies, stir them in during the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften.
  5. Transfer cooked chicken and garlic (plus any veggie add-ins) to a mixing bowl. Let cool for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Add shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the bowl. Toss until evenly mixed.
  7. Lay out flour tortillas. Spoon about 2/3 cup of the cheesy chicken mixture down the center of each. Fold in the sides and roll up burrito-style.
  8. Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Add a little oil or butter if needed. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until golden and crispy.
  9. Transfer wraps to a cutting board. Let rest for a minute, then slice in half. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated cheese for smoother melting. Don’t overfill the wraps to prevent them from falling apart. Pre-warm tortillas for easier rolling. For a crispier wrap, use a panini press or countertop grill. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen (unbaked) for up to 2 months.
