Directions

First, I start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
While the oil heats up, I season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and paprika. I make sure both sides are coated well.
I then place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook them for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden-brown color. Once done, I remove them from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
In the same skillet, I add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Next, I slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the skillet with the garlic. I toss the chicken to coat it in the garlic and warm it up.
To assemble the wraps, I lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. I place an equal amount of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla, then top it with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
I fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
To finish, I return the wraps to the skillet and cook them for 2-3 minutes per side, just until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.
Once done, I remove the wraps from the skillet and slice them in half. I like to garnish them with fresh parsley for a little extra flavor and color.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 4 wraps, perfect for serving 2-4 people depending on hunger levels. It takes around 25-30 minutes from start to finish, making it a great choice for a quick and delicious meal.

Variations

Add Vegetables: For some extra freshness, I like to throw in some sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach along with the chicken.
Spicy Kick: If I want a little heat, I add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
Different Cheese: Sometimes, I switch up the cheeses for a sharper flavor by using cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack.
Make it a Wrap Bowl: If I’m in the mood for a bowl instead of a wrap, I serve the chicken mixture over a bed of rice, topped with cheese and garlic sauce.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When it’s time to reheat, I pop them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or heat them on a skillet over medium heat to crisp them up again.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, chicken thighs work great in this recipe too! They’re a bit juicier and more flavorful, so it’s a nice option if you prefer dark meat.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

I wouldn’t recommend assembling the wraps too far in advance as the tortillas can become soggy. However, you can cook the chicken and store it in the fridge, then assemble and cook the wraps when you’re ready to eat.

How can I make these wraps healthier?

For a healthier twist, I can use whole wheat tortillas, reduce the amount of cheese, or even substitute the chicken for a lean protein like turkey or tofu.

Can I freeze these wraps?

Yes! If I want to freeze them, I wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the freezer. To reheat, I bake them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

What sides go well with these wraps?

I love pairing these wraps with a side of crispy sweet potato fries, a fresh salad, or some homemade guacamole and salsa for dipping.
