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, toss the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Lay out the tortillas and spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce on each. Divide the cooked chicken evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Fold the tortillas into wraps. In the same pan, grill each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side until the cheese melts and the tortilla turns golden and crispy.
Remove from heat, cut each wrap in half, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
