Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Meat:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 34 garlic cloves

Cheese and Dairy:

  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Seasonings and Spices:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Wrap and Optional Toppings:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Fresh parsley
  • Fresh spinach
  • Lettuce
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced avocado
  • Ranch dressing
  • Garlic aioli
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Blend cream cheese, garlic, and mozzarella into a smooth, fragrant spread at room temperature.
  2. Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then introduce cooked chicken seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently heat the chicken until thoroughly warmed.
  3. Generously coat each tortilla with the creamy garlic mixture, creating an even layer of rich flavor.
  4. Arrange the seasoned chicken atop the cheesy base, ensuring uniform distribution across the tortilla.
  5. Carefully fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll into a compact wrap, sealing the delicious filling inside.
  6. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat, positioning the wraps seam-side down to ensure a secure closure.
  7. Sear the wraps for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating until achieving a golden-brown, crispy exterior with a delightful crunch.
  8. Transfer the hot, sizzling wraps to a serving plate, optionally garnishing with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
  9. Serve immediately while the wraps are warm and the cheese remains wonderfully melted.

Notes

  • Try different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a flavor twist that elevates the wrap’s taste profile.
  • Swap chicken with grilled tofu, shredded turkey, or plant-based protein to accommodate vegetarian or dietary preferences.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet for achieving an extra golden and crisp exterior that delivers restaurant-quality texture and color.
  • Control medium heat carefully to prevent burning while ensuring the cheese melts smoothly and the tortilla develops a perfect golden-brown crunch.
