Tender Chicken Wrapped in Tortillas with a 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 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 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

1/4 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 in the skillet for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. 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 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, 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 375°F (190°C).

Lay the tortillas flat and divide the cooked chicken evenly 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 of the wraps.

Bake the Wraps:


Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes 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 of salad or roasted vegetables.

Here’s a special, healthy food option that is both delicious and nutritious:

 Quinoa Salad with Avocado and Mixed Vegetables


Ingredients:

    1 cup uncooked quinoa

    2 cups water

    1 ripe avocado, diced

    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

    1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

    1/2 cup cucumber, diced

    1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    Juice of 1 lime

    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

    Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow it to cool to room temperature.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the quinoa is cooling, prepare the vegetables. Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and dice the cucumber. Chop the fresh cilantro or parsley.

    Combine Everything: In a large bowl, mix the cooled quinoa, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and chopped herbs until well combined.

    Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lime juice. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

    Serve: Enjoy the quinoa salad immediately. It can be served on its own or as a side dish.

Note: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the avocado may brown if stored for extended periods.
