Ingredients
500g boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
4 large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes while you heat a skillet over medium-high.
3. Sear the chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
4. In another pan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant but not browned.
5. Whisk in flour to form a roux, then gradually add heavy cream, whisking until smooth and thickened.
6. Season the sauce with salt and cracked pepper to taste.
7. Lay out tortillas, add cooked chicken, drizzle garlic sauce, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
8. Wrap tightly and toast each wrap seam-side down in a dry skillet until golden on both sides.
9. Slice and serve hot, optionally with extra sauce for dipping.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for juicier wraps that don’t dry out during cooking.
Let the garlic bloom gently in butter—burnt garlic will ruin the sauce.
Preheat your skillet properly to get that perfect golden crust on the outside of the wrap.
