Garlic chicken wraps are the perfect blend of savory chicken, aromatic garlic and a delicious cheese filling. These wraps not only offer an intense flavor experience, but are also easy to prepare and ideal for any occasion – whether lunch, dinner or even on the go. In this recipe we combine juicy chicken, grated mozzarella and cheddar, which are perfectly complemented by the crispy wheat tortilla. The result: a wrap that is indeed hard to beat!
Garlic Chicken Wraps Ingredients
Serves 4:
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), cut into strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- 2 oz mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1/2 cup baby spinach or lettuce (optional)
Additional LSI ingredients for more flavor:
- Sour cream for a creamy texture
- Avocado slices for a fresh twist
- Chili flakes for the spicy lovers
Instructions
- Prepare and sear the chicken
First, we heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. As soon as the oil is hot, we add the chicken breast fillets cut into strips. Now comes the most important step for the intense flavor: we add the chopped garlic cloves, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The chicken should be fried for about 6-8 minutes until it has turned a golden brown color and is cooked through.
- Fill the tortillas
While the chicken is frying, we can prepare the wheat tortillas. Each tortilla is evenly spread with mayonnaise, which not only serves as a base for the filling, but also gives the wrap a creamy note. We put the finished chicken strips on the mayonnaise layer.
Now comes the cheese: a mixture of grated mozzarella and cheddar ensures the ultimate cheese enjoyment. The mozzarella offers a pleasant creaminess, while the cheddar adds a light spice.
- Add optional vegetables
For those who like their wrap a little fresher, we recommend adding a layer of baby spinach or lettuce leaves on top of the chicken and cheese. This option not only creates a beautiful color combination, but also adds extra crunch and nutrients.
- Roll up the wraps
Once all the ingredients are spread out on the tortillas, it’s time to roll up the wraps. To do this, we first fold in the sides of the tortilla to make sure the filling doesn’t fall out. Then we roll the tortilla tightly so that everything stays compact.
- Fry the wraps
The last step before we can enjoy the wraps is frying them. In a clean pan, we heat some oil over medium heat and fry the wraps on each side for 2-3 minutes. This not only ensures that the cheese melts completely, but also that the tortillas become slightly browned and crispy.
- Serving and garnishing
The finished wraps can now be sprinkled with chopped parsley and served hot immediately. If you like, you can serve them with a fresh dip such as guacamole or sour cream.
