Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into strips
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk (warm)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
Butter or oil for toasting
Optional: baby spinach, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, crushed red pepper flakes, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Toss chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Sear chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
3. In a saucepan, melt butter, sauté garlic, then whisk in flour to form a roux.
4. Slowly add warm milk while whisking, and cook until the sauce thickens.
5. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
6. Warm tortillas to make them pliable.
7. Lay chicken in center of tortilla, spoon over garlic cheese sauce, and add any extras.
8. Roll wraps tightly, then toast in a skillet until golden and crisp on both sides.
9. Slice and serve warm with extra sauce and parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, roast the garlic before adding it to the sauce.
Warming the tortillas is key to prevent cracking or tearing during wrapping.
Don’t skip the roux step — it’s what keeps the sauce smooth and creamy.
