Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 chicken breasts, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken)

Cheese Blend

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by finely chopping the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Sauté the chicken in a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat until cooked through and lightly golden, about 6-8 minutes. This builds the savory base of your wraps.
  2. Combine Cheese and Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked and slightly cooled, mix it with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses in a bowl. This mixture forms the creamy, cheesy filling that’s both indulgent and satisfying.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay your flour tortillas flat and spoon an even layer of the chicken and cheese mixture down the center. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling and prevent leaks during baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush lightly with olive oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing in half. This allows the cheese to set just enough so it won’t ooze out, providing the perfect balance of gooey and crispy.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked shredded chicken for faster preparation.
  • Avoid overfilling the wraps to prevent bursting during baking.
  • Brush the wraps with olive oil or butter for a golden, crispy exterior.
  • Chill assembled wraps in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking for better shape retention.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese adds a deeper flavor that complements the garlic and herbs.
