Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 4 large tortillas (flour or whole-grain)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp olive oil (or cooking spray)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings:
    • Sliced bell peppers
    • Spinach
    • Jalapeños
    • Ranch or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas and divide the chicken strips evenly among them. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken. Add any optional toppings if desired.
  4. Fold the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to secure the filling.
  5. Cook the Wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, use an air fryer at 375°F for 5-6 minutes.
  6. Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free tortillas to make this cheesy chicken wrap gluten-free.
  • Spice It Up: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
