Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 4 large flour tortillas

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1 – Season the Chicken

In a large bowl, toss the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2 – Cook the Chicken

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3 – Assemble the Wraps

Spread a spoonful of creamy garlic sauce onto each tortilla. Add an even portion of the cooked chicken, then sprinkle generously with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

Step 4 – Melt and Crisp

Fold the tortillas over the filling to form wraps. Return them to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and lightly crisp.

Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy

Slice the wraps in half, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Cooking Method & Flavor Formation

The chicken is seasoned simply but boldly, allowing garlic and paprika to shine. Pan-searing builds flavor while keeping the chicken juicy. Finishing the wraps in the skillet melts the cheese and crisps the tortillas, creating a perfect contrast of textures—crispy outside, creamy and cheesy inside.
