Steps to Make It

1. Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. This will fill your kitchen with a delicious aroma.
2. Next, add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir it well to coat with the garlic and heat through for about 3-4 minutes. You want the chicken to be warmed but not dried out.
3. Now, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it melts into the chicken mixture. This should take about 2 minutes. The cheese should be gooey and inviting.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will add a creamy tang to your wraps. Set it aside while you prepare the tortillas.
5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds, just until they’re pliable. This makes wrapping them so much easier and prevents tearing.
6. To assemble, spread a generous layer of the sour cream mixture on each tortilla. Then, add a scoop of the cheesy chicken mixture, followed by shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. Don’t be shy; pile it on!
7. Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the ends as you go. Slice them in half and place them seam-side down on a plate. They should look deliciously inviting.
8. Finally, serve the wraps warm and enjoy! They pair perfectly with a side of chips or a fresh salad.

Make It Perfect

• For extra flavor, add some spices like paprika or cumin to the chicken mixture.
• If you’re short on time, use pre-shredded cheese and rotisserie chicken.
• These wraps are great for meal prep; just keep the filling and tortillas separate until you’re ready to eat.

Mix It Up

• Try adding bell peppers or onions for extra crunch.
• Swap the chicken for turkey or even beans for a vegetarian option.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a side of tortilla chips and salsa.
• A fresh garden salad complements these wraps nicely.
