03 -
6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
04 -
1 tsp smoked paprika
05 -
1 tsp dried oregano

07 -
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
08 -
4 oz cream cheese, softened
09 -
1/4 cup sour cream
→ Finishing Touches
10 -
2 tbsp olive oil
11 -
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
12 -
Hot sauce, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through to 165°F internal temperature. Rest for a few minutes, then dice.
02 -
In same pan, reduce heat to medium and sauté minced garlic for 30-45 seconds until fragrant. Add oregano and bloom for 15 seconds. Don't let garlic burn or it becomes bitter.
03 -
Add diced chicken back to pan with garlic mixture. Toss together and warm through for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.
04 -
In large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and half the cheddar until smooth. Add warm garlic chicken mixture and fold together until creamy. The heat helps melt the cheese slightly.
05 -
Warm tortillas for 20 seconds in microwave. Place 3/4 cup filling in center of each tortilla, sprinkle with remaining cheddar. Fold bottom up, sides in, then roll tightly from bottom to top.
06 -
Heat clean skillet over medium heat. Cook wraps seam-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden. Flip carefully and cook another 2-3 minutes. Cut diagonally and garnish with cilantro.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't walk away when cooking garlic—it burns quickly and becomes bitter.
02 -
Filling keeps in fridge for 3 days and can be made ahead for easy assembly.
03 -
Try pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for a spicy kick that's absolutely delicious.
04 -
Double wrap in foil for lunch boxes—they stay warm for hours and travel perfectly.
