Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss until evenly coated.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook 3-4 minutes without stirring. Stir and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Add fresh garlic: Push chicken to one side of skillet. Add remaining oil and minced garlic to empty space. Cook 30-60 seconds until fragrant, then stir into chicken.
- Prepare cheese mixture: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese with half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
- Assemble wraps: Spread cheese mixture on center of each tortilla. Divide chicken evenly among tortillas, then top with remaining cheeses and parsley.
- Roll the wraps: Fold in sides of tortilla 1 inch, then roll tightly from bottom, tucking filling as you go.
- Cook the wraps: Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook 2-3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more until crispy and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Cut diagonally in half and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover wraps in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in skillet for best results.
Freezing: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
Substitutions: Use rotisserie chicken to save time, or substitute with turkey. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas.
Pro Tips: Don’t overfill tortillas, and make sure chicken isn’t too wet when assembling to prevent soggy wraps.
