Salt and pepper, to taste: Adjust according to your preference.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: For sharpness and that classic cheesy pull.
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: Adds creaminess and melts beautifully.
4 large flour tortillas: Use soft, pliable tortillas for the best wraps.

Ingredient Tips
Chicken: If you’re in a hurry, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Just shred it and season it according to the recipe.
Cheese: Feel free to swap in your favorite cheese. Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack adds a nice twist!
Creamy Garlic Sauce: You can find this at most grocery stores, but making your own is super easy! Simply mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust quantities to taste.
Tortillas: For a healthier option, choose whole wheat tortillas, or opt for gluten-free varieties if needed.
Instructions Outline
1. Season the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece of chicken is well-coated with the seasoning. This is where the magic begins! 🧄
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and browned on all sides. The goal here is to get a nice sear for maximum flavor! Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and a nice golden crust.
3. Assemble the Wraps
