Instructions
    Prepare the Garlic Butter Chicken
  1. 1
    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Once melted, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chicken strips, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes until chicken is golden and cooked through. Set aside.
    2. Make the Cheese Sauce
  2. 2
    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add warm milk, whisking continuously until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
    3. Warm the Tortillas
  3. 3
    Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
    4. Assemble the Wraps
  4. 4
    Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add lettuce, tomato slices, and red onions as the base. Spoon over the garlic chicken, drizzle with cheese sauce, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and add optional sauce if desired.
    5. Grill the Wraps (Optional but Recommended)
  5. 5
    Fold the wrap tightly. Place seam-side down on a preheated grill pan or skillet. Grill each side for 1-2 minutes until the wrap is crispy and cheese inside melts.
    6. Rest and Serve
  6. 6
    Let the wrap sit for 2–3 minutes before slicing in half. Serve hot with a side of fries, salad, or dipping sauce.
Note
  • Make Ahead Tip: Chicken and cheese sauce can be prepped up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge.

  • Variations:
    • Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
    • Add avocado slices or grilled bell peppers for extra flavor.
