Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Garlic
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Filling
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano.
Cook for about 3–4 minutes while stirring so the chicken absorbs the garlic flavor. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and sour cream (or cream cheese). Mix until smooth. You can also add a small pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread a spoonful of the creamy garlic sauce on the tortilla. Add a portion of the garlic chicken, then sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
Add lettuce or vegetables if desired.
Step 5: Roll the Wraps
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Step 6: Toast the Wraps (Optional but Recommended)
Place the wraps in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until the tortilla becomes golden and the cheese melts inside.
Step 7: Serve
Remove from the skillet, slice the wraps in half, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm.
