how to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Ingredients:

• Chicken breast (cooked, diced) – 2 cups
• Garlic (minced) – 4 cloves
• Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
• Shredded mozzarella cheese – 1 cup
• Shredded cheddar cheese – 1 cup
• Flour tortillas (medium) – 4 pieces
• Butter – 1 tablespoon
• Parsley (chopped, optional) – 1 tablespoon
• Salt and black pepper – To taste

Directions:

1. Cook the chicken if not already done. Season with salt and pepper and cook by baking, sautéing, or grilling until just cooked; dice into small pieces.
2. In a pan over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3. Add the diced chicken to the pan and toss with the garlic oil to infuse flavor. Remove from heat and stir in mozzarella and cheddar while the chicken is hot to help melt the cheese.
4. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
5. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
6. Remove from heat and let rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing or serving. Sprinkle parsley if desired and serve warm.
