Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional: sour cream
Herbs, Spices, and Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking and Wrap Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large tortillas
- Optional: guacamole
- Optional: salsa
Instructions
- Infuse chicken strips with a zesty marinade of olive oil, garlic, spices, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow flavors to penetrate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat skillet to medium heat and cook marinated chicken strips for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and completely cooked through.
- Transfer chicken from skillet and quickly warm tortillas in the same pan for 1-2 minutes, creating a soft, pliable wrap base.
- Assemble wraps by layering cooked chicken strips across tortilla centers, generously sprinkling mozzarella cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
- Carefully fold tortillas into compact wraps, then return to skillet. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and exterior becomes crispy and golden.
- Plate immediately and complement with optional condiments like tangy sour cream, creamy guacamole, or zesty salsa for added flavor dimension.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by letting chicken marinate longer, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper garlic and spice infusion.
- Ensure chicken is fully cooked by using a meat thermometer, checking internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
- Swap regular tortillas with low-carb or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising taste.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles and added excitement to the wrap.
