Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Cheesy Garlic Sauce
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- salt and pepper to taste
Assembly
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tomato diced
- 0.5 red onion thinly sliced
- parsley or green onion chopped, optional garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. Stir in both cheeses, melting into a smooth, creamy sauce. Season to taste.
- Place tortillas in a warm, dry skillet for about 10 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a towel for 20 seconds.
- To assemble the cheesy garlic chicken wraps, spread a spoonful of garlic cheese sauce onto each tortilla. Top with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Drizzle more sauce over the filling.
- Fold the sides inward and roll tightly. Serve warm with extra sauce or your favorite dip.
Notes
Try using rotisserie chicken to save time. You can also add spinach or bell peppers, and freeze extra sauce for later use. These wraps are highly adaptable for different preferences.
