# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Dice or shred cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Toss chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
02 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken and sauté for 6–8 minutes until golden-brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.
04 -
Combine shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese in a bowl for the filling.
05 -
Lay out tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly spread 1–2 tablespoons of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla, leaving space at the edges for folding. Distribute cooked chicken evenly onto the tortillas. Top with cheese mixture and optional vegetables or herbs, if desired.
06 -
Fold in sides and tightly roll each tortilla into a large wrap, enclosing the filling.
07 -
Heat butter and a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted, pressing gently with a spatula for even browning.
08 -
Slice warm wraps diagonally and serve immediately with additional garlic sauce or fresh herbs if desired.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For best texture, allow tortillas to reach room temperature before assembling to prevent cracking and ensure easier rolling.
02 -
Store cooled wraps in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet to maintain crispness.
03 -
Customize your wraps with added vegetables or swap chicken for tofu for a vegetarian option.
