Ingredients
Scale
- Main Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 15 ml olive oil
- 10 ml garlic powder
- 5 ml onion powder
- 5 ml paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 240 ml shredded cheddar cheese
- 120 ml shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 120 ml creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown and thoroughly cooked through. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, then sprinkle generously with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Carefully fold the tortillas over the filling to create neat wraps. Return the assembled wraps to the heated skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp, and the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
- Slice each toasted wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- To add a spicy kick, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the chicken seasoning mixture.
- Experiment with different cheese blends, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, to vary the flavor profile of the wraps.
- For a vegetarian alternative, substitute the chicken with sautéed mushrooms or black beans.
- Prepare a homemade garlic sauce by combining mayonnaise, minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- This recipe is meal prep friendly; cook the chicken and prepare the garlic sauce in advance for a quick assembly on busy weeknights.
