Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Chicken:

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts – Sliced into thin strips for even cooking.
  • 3 cloves garlic minced – Fresh garlic adds bold, aromatic flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil – Helps create a juicy golden-brown sear.
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika – Adds a subtle smoky depth.
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder – Enhances the savory taste.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste – Essential for seasoning.

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas – Soft and pliable perfect for wrapping.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully for that gooey cheesy texture.
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese – Adds a sharp nutty bite.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter – Brushed on the tortillas for a crispy golden finish.
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt – Adds a creamy element inside the wrap.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – Enhances the garlic flavor throughout.

Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:

  • Fresh spinach or lettuce – Adds a bit of crunch and freshness.
  • Sliced tomatoes or roasted red peppers – Introduces a juicy slightly sweet contrast.
  • Avocado slices – Brings a creamy buttery texture.
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce – If you like a little kick.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Garlic Chicken

  • Warm up a large skillet over medium heat, then drizzle in the olive oil, letting it shimmer and coat the pan before cooking.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken strips and season with smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken starts to turn golden brown.
  • Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through and juicy, remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Wraps

  • Set a clean space for placing a flour tortilla.
  • Spread a thin layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt over the tortilla to add creaminess.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface.
  • Add a portion of the garlic-infused chicken, making sure to distribute it evenly.
  • If using any optional add-ins like spinach, tomatoes, or avocado, layer them on top of the chicken.

Fold and Seal the Wraps

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, ensuring the filling stays in place.
  • Lightly brush the outside of the wrap with melted butter and sprinkle a little garlic powder for extra flavor.

Cook the Wraps for a Crispy Finish

  • The cooking surface of a non-stick skillet or grill pan should operate at medium temperature.
  • Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  • Flip and cook the other side until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is crisp.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Remove from the skillet then allow them to cool down for one minute prior to cutting them into pieces.
  • Cut each wrap in half and serve with your favorite dipping sauce like garlic aioli, ranch, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
