Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for frying)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  3. Add seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet; cook until golden brown and fully cooked through (about 6 minutes per side). Remove from heat and let cool slightly before shredding.
  4. Lay out tortillas; fill each with shredded chicken and grated Parmesan cheese. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides.
  5. In the same skillet, heat more olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry each burrito seam-side down until crispy and golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).
  6. Serve hot with optional melted butter or additional Parmesan drizzled on top.
