The burritos each have one visible open end showing three layers inside: large chunks of white grilled chicken with light browning, a thick layer of gooey, melted yellow and white cheese blending together, and bits of slightly caramelized or cooked small vegetables mixed in. The outside of the burritos are soft white tortillas with browned grill marks and small green herb sprinkles scattered on top. The textures range from smooth, melted cheese to the slightly rough, cooked chicken and the soft, warm tortillas. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Tips & Variations

  • If you prefer a different protein, try using grilled shrimp, turkey, or plant-based options like crispy tofu.
  • For a healthier option, use whole wheat, low-carb, or spinach tortillas.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm the wraps in a skillet or air fryer to keep the exterior crispy and the cheese melted.

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheeses and Wrap

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Sauce and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the spices and oil, ensuring maximum flavor in every bite.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has developed a golden brown color. Remove the skillet from heat once done.
  3. Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce on each tortilla, then evenly distribute the cooked chicken atop the sauce. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the chicken for a rich, cheesy texture.
  4. Grill the Wraps: Fold the tortillas over the filling to enclose the ingredients. Return the wraps to the same skillet used for cooking the chicken. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes on medium heat until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside melts beautifully.
  5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each wrap in half diagonally, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for a comforting, cheesy garlic chicken meal.
