Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 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
For the Wraps
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is well coated with the seasonings.
- 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 brown and completely cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to make handling easier.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce evenly over each tortilla to add extra flavor.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over each tortilla, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top, allowing the cheese to cover the filling for a flavorful melt.
- Fold the Wraps: Carefully fold each tortilla over the filling to form a compact wrap, making sure the ingredients are enclosed.
- Grill the Wraps: Using the same non-stick pan, grill each wrap over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese melts inside and the tortillas turn golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan and slice them in half. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
- If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños to the chicken seasoning.
- To make the wraps gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- The creamy garlic sauce can be replaced with ranch or a yogurt-based garlic dressing for a different flavor profile.
- For meal prep, assemble wraps without grilling and store them separately; grill just before serving for optimal crispiness.
