How to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Ingredients

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

Directions

In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
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 and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

How to Serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

These wraps are best served hot, right off the pan. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with a side salad or some crunchy veggies. Dip them in extra creamy garlic sauce for a delicious touch!

How to Store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the wraps in a pan over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave them for a quick option. However, reheating in a pan may help maintain the crispy texture.

Tips to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Feel free to add other ingredients like bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
For an even crispier wrap, brush the outside of the tortillas with a bit of melted butter before grilling.

Variation

You can make these wraps with different types of protein, like shrimp or beef. Alternatively, for a vegetarian option, use grilled vegetables or beans instead of chicken.
