Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced into strips
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Wrap Components

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (blend of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped (red, green, yellow)
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce or spinach leaves, washed
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well-coated to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly golden, releasing a fragrant garlic aroma.
  3. Prep Your Veggies and Cheese: While the chicken cooks, chop the bell peppers and wash the lettuce or spinach. Shred the cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend so it’s ready to melt.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add a generous portion of the cooked chicken strips, followed by chopped bell peppers, fresh greens, and top with shredded cheese to melt from the warm chicken.
  5. Warm and Fold: Place the assembled wrap back onto the skillet or grill pan and toast each side for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese and lightly crisp the tortilla. Once golden and gooey, fold the wrap tightly and slice it in half for serving.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic gives a stronger, fresher flavor than pre-minced or powder.
  • Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Cook on medium-high to seal in juices and avoid drying the meat.
  • Warm Tortillas: Lightly warming tortillas before filling makes them more pliable and less likely to tear.
  • Cheese Combo: A blend of mozzarella and cheddar balances creaminess with sharp flavor.
  • Fresh Veggies Matter: Crisp vegetables add essential texture—don’t skip them.
