Ingredients:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese on one half of each tortilla.
- Place a few strips of chicken over the cheese, then fold the tortilla over to create a wrap.
- Cook the Wraps:
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden crisp.
- Place the wraps in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice them in half. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Additional Tips for Serving and Storage:
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these wraps with a side of sour cream, salsa, or a garlic dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
- Customizations: You can easily add your favorite veggies like bell peppers or onions to the wrap for added texture and nutrition.
