1. Cook the Chicken:
Season the Chicken:
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken strips with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
Sauté the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
2. Assemble the Wraps:
Warm the Tortillas:
Lightly heat the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for about 15-20 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
Layer the Ingredients:
On each tortilla, spread a tablespoon of ranch dressing or your preferred sauce. Layer with lettuce, diced tomatoes, and red onions. Add a handful of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Add Chicken:
Place the cooked garlic chicken strips on top of the veggies and cheese. The heat from the chicken will melt the cheese slightly, making it extra gooey and delicious.
3. Fold and Grill (Optional):
Fold the Wrap:
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from one end to the other.
Grill (Optional):
For a crispy finish, place the wrapped tortillas on a hot skillet or grill pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
4. Serve:
Serve:
Slice the wraps in half and serve them warm with extra ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Tips for Success:
Cheese Options: Mix up the cheeses by using Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even Swiss for different flavor profiles.
Vegetables: Feel free to add avocado, cucumbers, or bell peppers for extra crunch and freshness.
Protein Variations: You can swap the chicken for grilled shrimp, steak strips, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
