Ingredients
  

  • 2 large tortillas: These serve as the base for your wraps. Opt for whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrition.
  • 2 chicken breasts cut into strips: Chicken offers protein and is ideal for keeping the dish lean yet hearty.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil: This is used for sautéing the chicken infusing it with flavor while helping achieve that golden-brown crust.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced: Garlic adds a punch of flavor and aroma, making the dish more irresistible.
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded: Known for its meltiness, mozzarella creates that gooey texture that's so delightful in any wrap.
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded: Cheddar brings a sharp flavor that complements the mildness of mozzarella.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese: This smooth and creamy addition enhances the richness of the filling.
  • 1/4 cup sour cream: Sour cream adds tanginess and helps bind the ingredients together.
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish: Fresh parsley not only adds color but also a fresh flavor to the wraps.
  • Salt & pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning the chicken and the filling to elevate the overall flavor.

Method
 

  1. Cook the Chicken: Start by heating 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season 2 chicken breasts (cut into strips) with salt and pepper, and sauté them in the oil until golden brown and fully cooked through, which should take about 6-8 minutes. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic in the last minute of cooking, stirring until fragrant.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup cream cheese, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Once the chicken is cooked, add it along with the garlic from the skillet to the bowl and mix well until everything is well combined.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the 2 large tortillas and spoon an even amount of the cheesy chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll them tightly, tucking in the corners as you go to secure the filling inside.
  4. Heat & Crisp: Place the wraps seam-side down in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, broil them in the oven for a few minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Once cooked, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them sit for a minute. Slice in half, then sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve with additional sour cream or salsa on the side for dipping.
