How to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
How to Serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
These wraps are best served hot. You can enjoy them on their own or with extra creamy garlic sauce for dipping. A side of fresh salad or some crispy potato wedges also pairs nicely with these wraps.
How to Store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
If you have leftovers, let the wraps cool down completely before storing them. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply grill them again on a pan until they are warm and crispy.
Tips to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
