Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Wrap and Additional Ingredients:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season chicken breasts thoroughly with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, ensuring even coating on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Transfer seared chicken to a cutting board and slice into thin, uniform strips to ensure consistent cooking and easy wrapping.
- Warm flour tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to increase flexibility and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Spread a thin layer of sour cream across the center of each tortilla, creating a moisture barrier and adding creamy texture.
- Distribute sliced chicken evenly across tortillas, leaving space at the edges for secure folding.
- Sprinkle generous amounts of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken, allowing for maximum melting potential.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Carefully roll tortillas into tight wraps, tucking in sides to prevent filling from falling out.
- Place wrapped tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is completely melted and tortilla edges turn crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set and prevent burning.
Notes
- Customize seasoning by experimenting with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or smoked paprika for unique flavor profiles.
- Swap chicken with grilled tofu or shredded jackfruit for vegetarian-friendly version, maintaining similar texture and cooking technique.
- Use low-fat cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to reduce calorie content while keeping creamy consistency.
- Ensure chicken is sliced uniformly to promote even cooking and prevent dry or undercooked sections in the wrap.
