Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

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 (for garnish)

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.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla and sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Fold the tortillas to form wraps. Grill the wraps in the same pan for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy with melted cheese inside.
Remove from the pan, cut each wrap in half, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
