Ingredients
Scale
- 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 (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Place diced chicken in a bowl and coat with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all pieces are evenly seasoned and let rest for a few minutes while prepping the other ingredients.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Sear until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Juices should run clear and no pink should remain in the center.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Gently warm the tortillas in a microwave or dry skillet to make them more flexible and less likely to tear during rolling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce across each tortilla, leaving a small border. Add the cooked chicken down the center, followed by a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up. A snug wrap helps hold everything together during cooking.
- Crisp and Serve: Return the wraps to the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, with cheese fully melted inside. Slice in half and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or use pepper jack cheese.
- To save time during the week, prep the chicken in advance and store separately.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a pan to retain crispiness.
- If using pre-cooked chicken, warm it slightly in a pan with a bit of olive oil and seasoning before assembling.
