Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
  3. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, or until it is cooked through and lightly browned on all sides. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  6. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of garlic sauce evenly over each tortilla.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the garlic sauce.
  8. Top with the cooked chicken.
  9. Optionally, add chopped fresh parsley, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
  10. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
  11. If desired, grill the wraps for 2-3 minutes per side in a panini press or dry skillet over medium heat, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. This step enhances the texture and flavor.
  12. Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, spices, and wrap fillings. Store leftover wraps in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, reheat in a skillet or panini press.
