Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup buffalo or hot sauce (optional for a spicy version)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breast strips, seasoning them with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Add the minced garlic to the pan during the last minute of cooking and sauté until fragrant.
If you want a spicy version, stir in the buffalo or hot sauce and let it simmer for another 2 minutes to coat the chicken in the sauce. Remove the pan from heat.
Lay out the flour tortillas and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese in the center of each tortilla. Spoon the cooked chicken evenly onto the tortillas, over the cheese. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll them up to form a wrap.
In a separate skillet, heat the melted butter over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted inside.
Remove from the skillet, slice the wraps in half, and serve them hot. They’re delicious on their own or with a side of ranch, garlic sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

- Can I make these wraps ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the wraps ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Just toast them in the skillet before serving.
