Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips Opt for organic, free-range for superior flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Can substitute with regular paprika.
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch) Can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free.
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Use fresh cheese for better melt.
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the chicken into thin strips and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss the chicken strips in the seasoning until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Once done, remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it in the garlic butter for one minute.
Assembly
  1. Lightly warm the tortillas to make them pliable.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat, add shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese down the center, and top with the garlic butter chicken.
  3. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom, placing seam-side down.
Final Cooking
  1. Place the assembled wrap back in the skillet over medium heat, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melty.
  2. Slice the wrap in half, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For added nutrition, consider adding sautéed bell peppers or use whole wheat tortillas. To maintain wrap crunchiness when reheating, use an oven or air fryer.
