Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Dry skillet

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Ensure each piece is well-coated. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully as the chicken cooks.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken mixture to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no pink remains (about 6-8 minutes). During the last minute of cooking, you want to ensure all the garlic is fragrant and the chicken is nicely seasoned.
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Cover the skillet for about 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and wonderfully gooey. This creates that irresistible cheesy pull.

  4. While the cheese is melting, gently warm your tortillas. You can do this by placing them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds. Warm tortillas are more pliable and less likely to tear when you assemble your wraps.

  5. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Be sure to get plenty of that melted cheese!

Notes

Store leftover cheesy chicken mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assembled wraps can be stored separately to prevent sogginess. The filling freezes exceptionally well for up to 1-2 months.
