Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 6 large flour tortillas 10-12 inch diameter
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted for brushing
  • Chopped fresh parsley optional
  • Green onions optional

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • large skillet
  • whisk
  • Spatula or spoon
  • tongs
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until a smooth paste forms (a roux).
  4. Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder to the sauce. Stir until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spread a generous amount of cheese sauce onto each tortilla.
  7. Add a portion of the cooked chicken on top of the sauce.
  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom.
  9. Brush both sides of each wrap with melted butter.
  10. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality flour tortillas. Be careful not to overload the wraps with filling to prevent them from becoming soggy. Serve immediately for optimal crispiness. You can prepare the chicken and cheese sauce ahead of time and assemble the wraps when ready to serve. Store leftover chicken and cheese sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
