Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, diced
4 large flour tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top, then sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Step 4: Fold the tortillas over the filling to form wraps. Return the pan to medium heat and grill each wrap for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese melts and the tortillas become golden and crispy.
Step 5: Remove the wraps from the pan and cut each one in half. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning mixture.
Serve the wraps with a fresh salad or extra garlic dipping sauce for added flavor.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as a healthy or dietary alternative.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain crispiness, or microwave briefly if preferred. Avoid reheating in the microwave for too long to prevent sogginess.
