Tender Chicken Tortilla Wraps with Rich, Creamy Cheese Sauce
Ingredients:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
cup shredded cheddar cheese for garnish
4 large tortillas
For the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cook the Chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the diced chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Wraps:
Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. Lay the tortillas flat and evenly distribute the cooked chicken among them. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the creamy cheese sauce generously over the top.
Bake the Wraps:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and garnish with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
Serve:
Allow the wraps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these cheesy, creamy wraps with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
