Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Season the chicken strips or pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the Cheesy Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until it’s melted and smooth.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir until well combined.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
- Place a few spoonfuls of the cheesy garlic sauce in the center of each tortilla.
- Add the cooked chicken on top of the sauce.
- Top with shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes (if using). Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve:
- Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately, or wrap them up for an easy meal on the go.
Notes
- You can also add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or any other veggies you like to the wraps for added flavor.
- For extra crunch, try adding some crispy bacon to the wraps!
- If you prefer a healthier option, you can swap out the flour tortillas for whole-wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps.
