Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Dry skillet or microwave (for warming tortillas)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Make the Garlic Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese over each tortilla.
  5. Add Fillings: Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the tortillas. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Fold the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom.
  7. Toast the Wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  8. Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use fresh chicken breasts. Warm the tortillas before filling to prevent sogginess. Add the garlic after the chicken is cooked to avoid burning it. Don't overfill the wraps for easy rolling and even cooking. Store leftover wraps in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
