Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika; let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  3. Remove the chicken from heat, let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred it with two forks.
  4. Lay out tortillas on a clean surface; spoon shredded chicken onto each tortilla and generously sprinkle with both cheeses.
  5. Fold each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.

Nutrition

Keywords: For added flavor, marinate the chicken in spices for a few hours before cooking. Feel free to substitute chicken with beef or mushrooms for a vegetarian option. To spice things up, include jalapeños or hot sauce in your filling.
