Method
 

Prep
  1. Dice chicken into small even pieces
  2. Mince garlic
  3. Chop lettuce and tomatoes
  4. Grate parmesan fresh for smoother sauce
  5. Warm tortillas slightly before assembling
Instructions
  1. Cook the Chicken
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Cook 5–7 minutes until golden brown with lightly crispy edges.
  5. Stir occasionally but allow some browning for extra flavor.
Build the Garlic Cream Sauce
  1. Lower heat slightly and add minced garlic. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Pour in heavy cream and stir well.
  3. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Slowly stir in parmesan cheese until melted smooth and creamy.
  5. Sauce should coat the chicken, not look watery.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet about 20–30 seconds per side.
  2. Add lettuce and tomatoes first for crunch.
  3. Spoon creamy garlic chicken over the top.
  4. Add optional toppings if desired.
  5. Fold tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Fresh parmesan melts smoother and tastes better than canned cheese
  • Don’t overcook the chicken or it can dry out quickly
  • Let the sauce simmer gently — boiling can separate cream sauces
  • Smoked paprika adds a subtle restaurant-style flavor boost
  • Toasting tortillas makes the wraps hold together better
  • Add bacon or avocado for even richer flavor
  • A squeeze of lemon brightens the entire wrap
