Tender chicken smothered in garlicky, gooey cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla, perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25 cm)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red chili flakes
  • Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping
  • Optional: sliced bell peppers or spinach

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips about ½ inch thick and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken strips in a single layer for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and lightly golden. Reduce heat if garlic browns too fast.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Lay a warm tortilla flat and add cooked chicken down the center. Sprinkle 1/3 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup cheddar cheese over the chicken. Add a pinch of chopped parsley.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly. Place wrap seam-side down on skillet over low-medium heat. Toast 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until cheese melts and tortilla is golden and crisp.
  7. Remove from heat, slice in half if desired, garnish with extra parsley or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and serve immediately.

Notes

If cheese isn’t melting fast enough, cover pan loosely with a lid to trap steam. Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking chicken; cook in batches if needed. Warm tortillas before assembling to keep them flexible. For gluten-free, use gluten-free or corn tortillas. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese alternatives.
