Instructions

1. Season & Cook the Chicken

1. Heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Season chicken with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
4. Set aside.

2. Make the Cheesy Garlic Sauce

1. Melt butter in the same skillet.
2. Add minced garlic and cook 30–45 seconds until fragrant (do not brown).
3. Pour in the cream and simmer gently.
4. Add mozzarella + parmesan and stir until melted and creamy.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay tortillas flat.
2. Add lettuce, tomatoes (optional), cooked chicken, extra mozzarella, and spoon on plenty of cheesy garlic sauce.
3. Roll tightly into wraps.

4. Toast the Wraps (Best Part!)

• Toast in a clean skillet 1–2 minutes per side until golden and melty inside.

You Must Know

• Lightly warming the tortillas makes them easier to roll.
• Don’t let garlic brown or it becomes bitter.
• Melt cheese fully into the sauce for smooth texture.
• Toasting improves flavor and keeps wraps closed.

Pro Tips

• Use rotisserie chicken for a super fast version.
• Add roasted garlic to make the sauce even richer.
• For extra crispiness, cook the wraps in a small amount of butter.
• Want spice? Add buffalo sauce, chili flakes, or jalapeños.
• Use freshly shredded cheese — melts smoother than pre-shredded.
