Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts diced into ½-inch pieces
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito-size preferred
  • 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 store-bought or homemade
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss everything together until each piece is thoroughly coated.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Lay your tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Warm them for 15 seconds in the microwave if cold. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla, leaving about half an inch around the edges. Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the tortillas, placing it in a line down the center. Sprinkle with both cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
  4. Fold the left and right sides of each tortilla toward the center about 1 inch, then roll tightly from the bottom up, burrito-style, to enclose the filling completely.
  5. Return the same pan to medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese melts completely and the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice each wrap in half diagonally. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover cooked chicken separately from tortillas for up to 3 days. For best results, assemble fresh wraps when ready to eat. Add sautéed peppers and onions for extra vegetables. Don't overfill wraps or they may burst during cooking.
