Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 4 large tortillas flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha mayo optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • grater
  • Large skillet or wok
  • spatula or tongs
  • Cutting board
  • knife
  • Microwave or dry skillet (for warming tortillas)

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned (about 8-10 minutes). Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas according to package directions. You can warm them in a dry skillet, in the microwave, or over an open flame.
  7. Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface.
  8. Spoon some of the garlic chicken onto the center of the tortilla.
  9. Add your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of salsa, or a squirt of sriracha mayo.
  10. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly.
  11. Serve your Easy Garlic Chicken Wraps immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. To prevent tortillas from tearing, warm them before filling. Get creative with toppings - try grilled vegetables, pickled onions, or crumbled bacon. Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water to prevent drying.
