Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
– 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 4 large flour tortillas
– ½ cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

1. Season the chicken. In a bowl, combine chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.

2. Cook the chicken. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the wraps. Spread about 2 tablespoons of garlic sauce in the center of each tortilla. Top with cooked chicken, cheddar, and mozzarella.

4. Fold and toast. Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center and roll up tightly. Place in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

5. Serve. Slice wraps in half, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
