Directions and Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the cubed chicken, along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything well to coat the chicken with the seasonings.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and takes on a lovely golden brown color.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface, ready to be filled with deliciousness.
- Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the tortillas, making sure each wrap gets a generous helping.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken, allowing the cheese to nestle in.
- Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the cheese, adding that burst of flavor we all love.
- Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it tightly to form a wrap.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat once more.
- Place the wraps in the skillet and toast them for 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure they get crispy.
- Cook until the wraps are beautifully golden and crispy, and the cheese is wonderfully melted.
- Remove from the skillet and slice the wraps in half for easier serving.
- Serve warm and savor the rich, cheesy, garlicky goodness in every delightful bite.
