Ingredients:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 4 large tortilla wraps
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (optional for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (optional for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for sauce)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season with smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chili flakes (if using) and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create a creamy sauce. Set this aside for assembly.
- Warm the tortilla wraps in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese onto each tortilla.
- Add a layer of the cooked garlic chicken on top of the cheese.
- Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley. Drizzle the prepared creamy sauce over the filling if desired.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it tightly into a wrap.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Pro Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with the spices for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Swap out the mozzarella or cheddar with your favorite cheese blend for a unique twist.
- Add your favorite vegetables, such as sautéed bell peppers or caramelized onions, for an extra layer of flavor.
- These wraps can also be prepared in advance and reheated in an oven or skillet for a quick meal.
