Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add diced chicken breasts and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, about 7–8 minutes.
3. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
4. Spread a generous amount of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla.
5. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly on each tortilla.
6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken while it’s still hot so the cheese melts slightly.
7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
8. Roll up the tortillas tightly to form wraps.
9. Optional: For a warm, crispy finish, place the wrapped tortillas seam side down in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Variations

• Substitute the chicken with cooked shrimp or beef strips.
• Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for dietary preferences.
• Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra texture.
• Swap creamy garlic sauce for ranch or spicy mayo to change the flavor profile.
• Add fresh avocado slices or lettuce for added freshness.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to maintain the wrap’s crispiness and melt the cheese again. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
