How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps:

1. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Add minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
2. Prepare the Wraps:
   • Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
   • Evenly distribute the cooked chicken mixture among the tortillas.
   • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the chicken.
3. Wrap and Heat:
   • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
   • Wipe out the skillet and heat it over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Serve:
   • Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Tips:

• Chicken Slices: For even cooking, ensure the chicken slices are of uniform thickness.
• Cheese: Feel free to use your favorite cheese blends or add extras like feta or gouda for a twist.
• Tortilla: If you prefer a crispier wrap, lightly brush the tortillas with oil before grilling.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Chicken: Use cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken to save time.
• Cheese: Swap out mozzarella and cheddar for Swiss, provolone, or any other cheese you prefer.
• Vegetables: Add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

Make a Healthier Version:

• Low-Fat Cheese: Opt for low-fat cheese to reduce calories.
• Whole Wheat Tortillas: Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier alternative.
• Lean Chicken: Choose skinless, boneless chicken breast to keep it lean.
