Ingredients
Servings: 4 wraps | Course: Main Dish | Cuisine: American
Main Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced into ½-inch cubes
- 4 large flour tortillas
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cheese & Sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup creamy garlic sauce
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Season and Cook the Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, toss the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Wraps
- Lay the tortillas flat. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
3. Fold and Crisp
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Return the wraps to the pan over medium-low heat. Press gently with a spatula and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
4. Serve
- Remove the wraps from the pan and cut in half.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately with a side of salad, garlic dipping sauce, or your favorite dipping veggies.
Tips and Variations
- Spicy kick: Add red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning.
- Vegetable boost: Include sautéed peppers, onions, or mushrooms inside the wrap.
- Cheese swap: Try pepper jack or gouda for a new flavor profile.
- Meal prep: Cook the chicken ahead and store separately for quick weekday assembly.
- Sauce alternatives: Ranch, chipotle mayo, or your favorite creamy sauce work beautifully.
