Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup (120 ml) creamy garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 2 tsps garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Spice Preparation: Toss diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring comprehensive and uniform coating.
- Chicken Sautéing: Heat non-stick skillet on medium, cook seasoned chicken pieces, stirring occasionally to achieve golden-brown exterior and complete internal doneness, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Tortilla Assembly: Unfurl tortillas, spread creamy garlic sauce across surface, layer warm chicken evenly, and generously distribute cheddar and mozzarella cheese to cover completely.
- Wrapping Technique: Carefully fold tortillas, creating compact parcels with sealed edges that encase the flavorful filling.
- Final Cooking: Return wrapped packages to skillet, cook until exterior transforms into crispy golden brown and cheese melts into luxurious, gooey consistency, ensuring even heating on both sides.
- Serving Presentation: Remove from heat, slice diagonally, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while warm and irresistibly cheesy.
Notes
- Spice Selection: Choose high-quality, fresh spices for maximum flavor intensity and aromatic complexity in the chicken seasoning.
- Chicken Cooking Technique: Maintain medium heat and avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve perfect golden-brown exterior without drying out the meat.
- Cheese Melting Tip: Allow cheese to fully melt and become gooey by covering the skillet briefly during the final cooking stage, creating a more indulgent texture.
- Wrap Sealing Method: Press wrap edges firmly when folding to prevent filling from spilling out during cooking, ensuring a neat and compact presentation.
