Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts Diced into 1/2-inch even pieces
  • 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch size recommended, fresh and pliable
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika Smoked paprika adds extra depth
  • salt and pepper To taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Freshly grated for best melt
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce Ranch or chipotle mayo works as substitute
  • fresh parsley, chopped Optional garnish

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wide spatula
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until every piece is fully coated. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden on the outside and fully cooked through with no pink remaining. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce over each one, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly, then sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top.
  4. Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla up over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll tightly from the bottom up. Press gently to seal the wrap.
  5. Return the wrapped tortillas to the same pan over medium-low heat. Press down lightly with a spatula. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Remove, cut each wrap in half, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Cook chicken ahead and store separately for up to 4 days for quick weeknight assembly. Reheat wraps in a skillet over medium heat for best crispiness. Add red pepper flakes or jalapenos for a spicy kick. Serve with a fresh salad or garlic dipping sauce.
