Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, diced
4 large flour tortillas
Seasonings & Oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and 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)
Optional Garnish
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to make sure every piece is evenly coated in the seasoning blend.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is nicely browned on the outside and fully cooked through. Set the chicken aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wraps.
Lay the flour tortillas out flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of creamy garlic sauce over each one, making sure to leave a little space around the edges. Divide the cooked chicken evenly across the tortillas, then top with both cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Fold the tortillas into wraps by bringing in the sides and rolling tightly from the bottom up to seal in the filling. Return the same skillet to medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan and toast for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted.
Transfer the wraps to a cutting board, slice each in half for easy serving, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm for the best gooey, melty experience.
Notes
These wraps go great with a crisp green salad or a handful of chips on the side.
If you like a little heat, feel free to add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning mix.
You can swap in shredded rotisserie chicken for an even faster prep time.
Use spinach or tomato tortillas to add color and flavor variation.
Homemade garlic sauce can take these to the next level—just mix together mayo, garlic, lemon juice, and a bit of olive oil for a quick version.
FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the filling in advance and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. If you want to store fully assembled wraps, keep them in the fridge and reheat them in a skillet or sandwich press to get the tortilla crispy again.
Can I freeze these wraps?
Freezing is possible, but it’s best to freeze the cooked chicken separately from the tortillas to avoid sogginess. Assemble and toast just before serving for the best texture.
What kind of garlic sauce should I use?
You can use any creamy garlic sauce you love—store-bought versions like aioli or garlic ranch work great. If you’re making it from scratch, a simple mix of mayo, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and salt makes a quick and tasty option.
Can I bake them instead of pan-toasting?
Definitely! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet, and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla edges are slightly crisp.
What cheese substitutions work well?
Feel free to switch up the cheese with what you have on hand—monterey jack, pepper jack, provolone, or even a Mexican cheese blend would be delicious in this wrap.
