Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces. Mix with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes for extra flavor. -
Cook the Chicken
Heat a pan on medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside. -
Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread creamy garlic sauce evenly over each. Add the cooked chicken in the center and sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. -
Fold the Wraps
Fold in the sides first, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Press gently to keep everything inside. -
Cook Until Crispy
Heat a clean pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side. -
Serve and Enjoy
Remove the wraps from the pan, let them cool for a minute, slice in half, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a crispier wrap, add a bit of oil to the pan when cooking.
- If you like extra spice, consider adding jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
- These wraps can be made ahead and frozen for quick meals.
