Ingredients
  

  • 1.1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small bite-size cubes
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil used to lightly coat chicken for sautéing
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder adds bold garlicky flavor throughout
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons onion powder balances and deepens savory notes
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons paprika smoked if desired for subtle heat
  • ¾ teaspoon fine salt adjust to taste depending on sauce saltiness
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper freshly cracked preferred
  • 1 ¼ cups sharp cheddar cheese freshly shredded for best melting
  • ⅔ cup mozzarella cheese low-moisture, shredded for stretch
  • 6 large flour tortillas burrito-size, soft and pliable
  • ⅔ cup creamy garlic sauce homemade or store-bought, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped, optional garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Sharp chef’s knife Used for dicing chicken evenly and safely
  • 1 Cutting Board Provides a stable surface for prepping chicken
  • 1 Medium mixing bowl Needed for seasoning and coating the chicken
  • 1 Large skillet Wide surface allows chicken and wraps to cook evenly
  • 1 Spatula or tongs Helps flip wraps without squeezing out filling
  • 1 set Measuring Cups and Spoons Ensures accurate seasoning and sauce portions

Method
 

  1. Toss the diced chicken with olive oil and all seasonings until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken undisturbed until lightly golden, then stir and continue cooking until fully done.
  3. Remove the chicken from heat once cooked through to prevent drying.
  4. Lay tortillas flat and spread garlic sauce across the center area of each wrap.
  5. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the tortillas and layer with both cheeses.
  6. Fold the tortillas burrito-style, tucking sides in tightly to secure the filling.
  7. Place wraps seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium-low heat and cook until crisp, flipping once until golden.
  8. Allow wraps to rest briefly, then slice and garnish if desired before serving.
