Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken

- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic gives the best flavor compared to garlic powder.
- Choose the Right Cheese: Mozzarella provides stretchiness, while cheddar adds sharpness.
- Warm the Tortillas: Slightly warming the tortillas makes them easier to fold and prevents tearing.
- Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños or extra red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Add a Crunch: Try adding crispy bacon bits or crushed tortilla chips inside the wrap for texture.
Variations
- Buffalo Style: Toss the chicken in buffalo sauce before adding to the wrap.
- BBQ Chicken Wrap: Replace the garlic sauce with your favorite BBQ sauce for a smoky twist.
- Veggie Loaded: Add sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition.
- Low-Carb Option: Use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a keto-friendly version.
- Mediterranean Twist: Swap cheddar for feta cheese and add olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
