  • 2 large chicken breasts diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 4 large flour tortillas approximately 10-12 inches in diameter
  • → Seasonings & Oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • → Cheese & Sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce store-bought or homemade

  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Season the Chicken
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings. The olive oil helps the seasonings adhere to the chicken and also adds a touch of moisture, preventing it from drying out during cooking. Don't be afraid to be generous with the seasonings – they are the foundation of the wrap's flavor profile.
  • Step 2: Cook the Chicken
  • Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. It's important to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety. Overcooking the chicken can result in a dry and rubbery texture, so keep a close eye on it and remove it from the heat once it's cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
  • Lay the flour tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. The garlic sauce adds a creamy, tangy element to the wraps that complements the savory chicken and melted cheese perfectly. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of the garlic sauce, ensuring that each wrap gets a fair share. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken, covering it completely.
  • Step 4: Grill the Wraps
  • Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted, the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and warm. Gently press down on the wraps with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan and promote even browning. Be careful not to burn the tortillas – keep a close eye on them and adjust the heat as needed.
  • Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
  • Remove the grilled wraps from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut each wrap in half diagonally. This makes them easier to handle and eat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, for a touch of freshness and visual appeal. Serve immediately while the wraps are warm and the cheese is melted and gooey.
