Ingredients
  

  • pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Slice chicken into thin strips and pat dry. Combine salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Toss the chicken strips in the seasoning until evenly coated.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer and cook three to four minutes per side until golden and cooked through to 165°F. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds to one minute until fragrant.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter for one minute.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and add shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese down the center. Top with a portion of the garlic butter chicken.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom. Place seam-side down.
  • Place the assembled wrap back in the skillet over medium heat and cook one to two minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Slice in half, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don't crowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. Cook in batches if needed for a proper sear.
  • Warm your tortillas before filling to prevent cracking and splitting.
  • For a crispy outside, brush a thin layer of butter or olive oil on the tortilla before toasting.
  • Leftover rotisserie chicken can be used as a shortcut. Skip the searing step and warm the chicken directly in the garlic butter.
  • For meal prep, assemble the wraps without fresh toppings like lettuce or tomato, wrap individually in foil, and freeze for up to two months.
