Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade – see notes)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional add-ins: sautéed onions, baby spinach, chopped tomatoes, cream cheese spread
Instructions
- Season the Chicken
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly coated. - Cook the Chicken
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F). - Warm the Tortillas
Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable. - Assemble the Wraps
Spread a spoonful of garlic sauce down the center of each tortilla. Top with cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, and any desired add-ins. - Roll and Toast the Wraps
Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Place each wrap seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Notes
- Garlic Sauce Substitute: Try ranch, Caesar, chipotle mayo, or a mix of mayo and minced garlic.

- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months.
