Ingredients

Ingredients for the wraps

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Add chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.

Prepare the Wraps

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into strips.

Assemble the Wraps

On each tortilla, place a portion of chicken, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and wrap tightly.

Cook the Wraps

Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Allow the wraps to cool slightly before slicing in half and serving.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps, consider serving them with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole. The vibrant flavors and textures of these accompaniments perfectly complement the rich, cheesy wraps. A crisp side salad can also add a refreshing contrast to the warm wraps, making your meal well-rounded and satisfying.

For a bit of a kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wrap. If you prefer a milder flavor, try adding some sautéed bell peppers or roasted vegetables. The beauty of this recipe is in its adaptability—feel free to be creative!

Storing Leftovers

If you’re fortunate enough to have leftovers, storing them is simple. Place the wraps in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to three days. To reheat, using an oven or skillet is preferred, as it helps maintain the wrap's crispiness while ensuring the cheese melts again.

You can also freeze leftovers for even longer storage. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn. When you're ready to enjoy them again, let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop or in the oven for the best results.
