Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 4 large flour tortillas
Seasonings & Spices:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Cheese & Sauce:
- 1 cup (240 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) creamy garlic sauce
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, massaging the seasonings thoroughly into the meat for comprehensive flavor infusion.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet to medium heat. Transfer seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring periodically, until achieving a uniform golden-brown exterior and ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Position tortillas on a clean work surface. Generously spread creamy garlic sauce across each tortilla’s surface, creating an even flavor foundation.
- Distribute the hot, freshly cooked chicken evenly over the sauced tortillas, maintaining consistent coverage from edge to edge.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken, allowing for complete ingredient integration.
- Carefully fold tortillas into compact wraps, tucking edges to secure the filling and prevent ingredient spillage during cooking.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Place wrapped tortillas seam-side down, grilling for 2-3 minutes per side until cheese melts and exterior turns crisp and golden brown.
- Transfer grilled wraps to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and optionally garnish with finely chopped parsley for a fresh herbal accent.
- Serve immediately while warm and cheese remains delightfully melted.
Notes
- Customize Seasonings by adjusting spice levels with additional chili powder or smoked paprika for a bolder flavor profile.
- Select Tortilla Options like whole wheat, low-carb, or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences.
- Optimize Cheese Melting by using room temperature cheese and covering the pan briefly during grilling to ensure even, gooey melting.
- Enhance Nutrition by adding fresh vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or sliced avocado for extra vitamins and texture.
