Equipment
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken Dice the chicken breast into cubes and transfer into a bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian herb seasoning, pepper, and salt . Mix well and let the chicken marinate for 10 mins.
- Make the the Creamy Garlic Sauce While the chicken marinates, proceed to make sauce. In a bowl or blender add ½ cup sour cream, 5 tsp light mayo, 4 tsp lemon juice, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp onion powder. Mix or blend until properly combined and smooth.
- Sauté the Chicken In a skillet, over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook the chicken for about 4 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside once properly cooked.
- Assemble the Wraps Lay out your tortillas. Spread a spoonful of the sauce evenly on each. Divide chicken evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously over the chicken, and add chopped parsley .
- Toast to Perfection Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Place wraps seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat. Spray with olive oil if you want, then toast for 2 - 3 minutes per side until tortillas are golden and cheese is melted.
- Serve Once ready, remove the wraps from the skillet, and serve.
Recipe Notes
➤ Use room temperature tortillas to prevent cracking.
➤ Don’t overfill the wrap or it may burst while toasting.
➤ Don’t overload with wet ingredients. Pat chicken dry before cooking and use a light spread of the sauce to keep tortillas crisp.
➤ Press gently with a spatula while toasting for even browning.
➤ Always place the seam-side down in the pan first. This helps "seal” the wrap and keeps it from opening as it toasts.
