Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings
- 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
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Wrap and Sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken 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 fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce evenly over each tortilla.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
- Fold the Wraps: Fold each tortilla over the filling to form a secure wrap, ensuring the ingredients stay inside.
- Grill the Wraps: Using the same pan, cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes on each side over medium heat until the cheese melts and the tortillas become golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
- For a lower calorie option, use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas and reduced-fat cheese.
- Add some fresh vegetables like lettuce or tomatoes inside the wrap for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat on a skillet to retain crispiness.
- If you prefer spicier wraps, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the chicken seasoning mix.
