→ Herbs & Seasoning

Salt and black pepper to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
If chicken is not cooked, season lightly with salt and black pepper, then bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked. Dice into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add diced chicken and toss to coat with garlic-infused oil.
03 -
Remove pan from heat and immediately stir in shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, mixing well while chicken is still warm to melt the cheese slightly.
04 -
Place a tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito shape.
05 -
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and press gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
06 -
Remove wraps from skillet and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Using rotisserie chicken reduces preparation time. For variation, swap cheeses with pepper jack or gouda. Adding spinach, mushrooms, or sautéed onions introduces more vegetables. Use gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary restrictions. Brush tortillas with garlic butter before toasting for enhanced flavor.
