Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap and Cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent the wraps from sticking.
- Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Sauté Garlic: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest for a few minutes. In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute, to enhance its flavor.
- Shred and Season Chicken: Shred the rested chicken using two forks. Toss the shredded chicken with the Italian seasoning to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken on each tortilla, then top with generous heaps of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly to form wraps.
- Bake Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the wraps are heated through and the cheese is melted, creating a gooey cheesy interior.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken seasoning.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a Mexican cheese blend for a different flavor profile.
- To make the wraps crispier, broil them for an additional 2 minutes after baking.
- These wraps can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative.
