Ingredients
Chicken breasts: choose plump and fresh for juicy results Dice them evenly for even cooking
Flour tortillas: go for the large size for easier wrapping They grill up with the best crisp
Olive oil: I always use extra virgin for a richer flavor and golden finish
Garlic powder: gives a bold garlicky punch without the mess of mincing
Onion powder: brings a subtle underlying savoriness to every bite
Paprika: opt for smoked if you want a deeper complex flavor
Salt and pepper: season by tasting use flaky salt if you can for better distribution
Shredded cheddar cheese: pick sharp cheddar for tang and better melting
Shredded mozzarella cheese: stretches beautifully and helps create the classic cheese pull
Creamy garlic sauce: either homemade or store bought The silkier and tangier the better
Fresh parsley: for garnish not just pretty but also freshens up the whole wrap
