4 Servings

400 g chicken breast fillet8 pcs small tortillas (approx. 15-20 cm)150 g grated cheddar cheese2 tbsp olive oil1 tsp smoked paprika0.5 tsp garlic powder0.5 tsp salt0.3 tsp ground black pepper

Steps

Prep and Season

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Cut the chicken breast fillet into small, approximately 1 cm cubes. In a bowl, mix the diced chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure all chicken pieces are evenly coated with the spices.

Fill Tortillas

Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Distribute the seasoned chicken evenly in the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese. Fold in two opposite sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to form small wraps.

Bake and Serve

Cut the rolled tortillas into 3-4 equally sized bites. Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut-side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Extra Tips

► Serve with garlic sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for an even richer flavor experience!

► If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken.

► You can prepare the bites in advance and store them in the fridge before baking, making serving quicker.
