Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Chicken Filling:

2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend
¼ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

For the Wraps:

4 large flour tortillas or wraps
Lettuce, spinach, or arugula
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced cucumbers or bell peppers
Optional: hot sauce, ranch, or garlic aioli

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken

If not pre-cooked, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sauté in olive oil over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C), about 6–8 minutes per side. Let it rest, then shred with two forks.

2. Make It Garlicky

In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Toss the shredded chicken in the garlic and seasonings.

3. Add Cheese and Creaminess

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the warm chicken. If desired, mix in mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a creamy texture. Allow the cheese to melt slightly by keeping the chicken warm for a couple of minutes.

4. Prepare the Wraps

Lay the tortillas flat. Place a handful of lettuce or greens on each tortilla. Top with the garlicky cheesy chicken mixture and add fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.

5. Roll and Serve

Fold in the sides and roll the tortillas tightly. Slice diagonally for a nice presentation. Serve warm, with optional dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or hot sauce.

Tips for Perfect Wraps

Warm the tortillas: Heat them in a pan or microwave for a few seconds to make rolling easier.
Add crunch: Include raw vegetables like cucumbers or shredded carrots for texture.
Customize cheese: Use pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for mild flavor.
Meal prep friendly: Wraps can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Keep sauces separate to avoid sogginess.
