Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese and Wraps
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Sauce and Garnish
- ½ cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the chicken pieces evenly with the seasoning.
- Cook the Chicken: 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 thoroughly cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla to add moisture and flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over each tortilla. Then, sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
- Fold the Wraps: Carefully fold each tortilla over the filling to encase the chicken and cheese, forming a wrap.
- Grill the Wraps: Using the same pan, place the wraps seam side down and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese melts inside and the tortillas become golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half diagonally for easy eating, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet for best results.
- Use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melting and taste.
- If you don’t have creamy garlic sauce, mix mayonnaise with minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice as a quick alternative.
