Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, diced
- 4 tbsp butter, divided
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp ranch dressing (optional)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 large tomato, diced and drained
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- For the Garlic Butter Finish:
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Season the diced chicken with Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Push chicken to one side, add 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic to the empty side. Cook garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, then toss everything together. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and let it coat the chicken until glossy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt for the garlic butter finish.
- Mix the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in a bowl. Dice tomatoes and drain them on paper towels. Chop all vegetables.
- Lay tortillas flat. Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese down the center of each tortilla. Add ranch dressing if using. Layer on the garlic chicken, then the cheese mixture, followed by lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, and green onions.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from bottom to top. Place seam-side down.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush each wrap with the garlic butter mixture. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden and cheese is melted.
- Let wraps cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting diagonally in half. Serve immediately.
