Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Flour tortillas
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Butter (for toasting the wraps)

For the Garlic Sauce:

  • Mayonnaise
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Garlic, minced
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside.
  2. Make the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt or sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Stir until well combined.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over half of it. Add cooked chicken on top of the cheese. Drizzle some garlic sauce over the chicken.
  4. Fold and Cook: Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, melt a little butter and place the wrap in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm with extra garlic sauce on the side.
