Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 lb.), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing wraps)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
1. Prepare the Chicken
- In a medium bowl, toss the thinly sliced chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and minced garlic until well coated.
2. Sauté the Chicken
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Wraps
- Lay out flour tortillas on a clean surface.
- Evenly divide the cooked chicken among the tortillas, placing the filling down the center of each.
- Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the chicken.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to seal in the filling.
4. Toast the Wraps
- Brush the outsides of the wraps with melted butter for extra flavor and golden color.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently until tortillas are golden-brown and cheese is melted.
- Remove from skillet, let cool 1 minute, slice in half if desired, and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time—just warm it with garlic and spices before assembling.
- Let wraps rest a minute before slicing—they’ll hold together better and the cheese will be perfectly oozy inside.
- For extra flavor, add a spoonful of your favorite sauce before rolling up the wraps.
Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or sliced jalapeños to the chicken.
- Veggie Loaded: Toss in sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
- BBQ Style: Swap garlic for 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce and use smoked gouda cheese.
