2. Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather all the ingredients. This recipe uses simple, pantry-friendly items that come together to create magic:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil for higher heat cooking)
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tbsp garlic powder if fresh isn’t available)
1 tsp smoked paprika (regular paprika works too)
1 tsp dried oregano (Italian seasoning blend is a great substitute)
Salt & black pepper to taste (we recommend 1/2 tsp each)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for that perfect melt)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for extra flavor)
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works best)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, but adds great color and freshness)

Pro Tip: For an even more flavorful twist, consider adding 1/4 cup of ranch dressing or buffalo sauce to the chicken mixture!

3. Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start by patting your chicken breasts dry with paper towels – this helps them brown better. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Add the minced garlic in the last minute of cooking for an aromatic boost – be careful not to burn it!

4. Step 2: Shred & Mix with Cheese

Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes – this keeps it juicy. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm shredded chicken with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. The residual heat from the chicken will start melting the cheese slightly, creating that perfect gooey texture we all love in cheesy chicken recipes.

5. Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Now for the fun part! Lay out your tortillas on a clean work surface. If they’re stiff from the fridge, you can warm them briefly in the microwave (about 10 seconds) to make them more pliable. Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it slightly off-center towards one edge. Be generous but leave about 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the sides inward first, then roll tightly from the filled end, tucking as you go to create a secure wrap. Place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Step 4: Crisp & Serve

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). For extra crispiness, you can brush the wraps lightly with melted butter or olive oil before baking. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. If you want even browning, you can flip them halfway through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces – we recommend garlic aioli or spicy ranch!
