Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 medium chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wraps
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Start by cleaning the chicken breasts and cutting them into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and ease of eating.
- Cook Chicken: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it turns golden brown and is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Mix Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful creamy sauce.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the cooked chicken and garlic mixture into the bowl with the sour cream mixture. Stir until the chicken pieces are fully coated with the sauce.
- Assemble Wraps: Reduce the skillet heat to low. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and scoop a quarter of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto it. Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheese over the filling.
- Cook Wraps: Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve: Once all wraps are cooked, optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary needs.
- For a spicier version, add a dash of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the sauce mixture.
- Make sure not to burn the garlic while sautéing; cook until just fragrant.
- These wraps can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or oven for convenience.
- Use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melting and flavor.
