Ingredients

Main

  • 2 large chicken breasts diced
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Seasoning & Oil

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Cheese & Sauce

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup creamy garlic sauce

Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Start with the Chicken

  • Toss the diced chicken in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. I usually just eyeball the seasoning — trust your instincts here. Let it sit for a bit while you pull everything else out.
  • Tip: If the chicken’s still a little cold from the fridge, don’t stress. It’ll cook fine — just add a minute or so.

Get a Good Sear

  • Heat up a non-stick pan over medium — not blasting hot, just hot enough that it sizzles when the chicken hits. Add the chicken in one layer. Don’t poke it for a couple minutes; let it do its thing. Flip when the bottom looks golden, then finish cooking until the chunks aren’t pink inside anymore.
  • I usually pull a piece and cut it just to be sure. No shame in double-checking.

Wrap It All Up

  • Warm the tortillas (microwave, pan, whatever works). Spread a generous swipe of garlic sauce — I mean, don’t skimp. Add the cooked chicken, then scatter on your cheese duo. Be generous, but leave the edges clear so it doesn’t explode later.

The Folding Bit

  • Fold the bottom up over the filling, then pull in the sides, and roll. Honestly, it takes a couple tries to get the roll tight — mine were falling apart the first time. You’ll get the hang of it.

Final Sizzle

  • Wipe the pan if it’s messy, then lower the heat a bit. Lay your wraps seam-side down and press them gently with a spatula. Let them toast for 2–3 minutes a side, or until the cheese is melted and the outside is golden and crisp.
  • That’s it. They’re hot, they’re cheesy, they’re borderline addictive.
