Instructions
- Season and Cook Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken strips with 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Set aside.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay out tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt on each tortilla. Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center.
- Add Cheese and Wrap: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken. Add optional toppings like lettuce or tomatoes. Fold the bottom of each tortilla up, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to close.
- Crisp the Wraps: Wipe the skillet clean and heat over medium. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Slice wraps in half and serve warm with hot sauce or extra sour cream for dipping.
Tips for Success
- Cheese Swap: Try pepper jack for a spicy kick or provolone for a milder flavor.
- Make it Crunchy: Add sliced bell peppers or onions for extra texture.
- Meal Prep: Prepare chicken and toppings ahead, assembling and cooking wraps just before serving.
