Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Make Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Season lightly with salt if needed.
Step 3: Assemble Wraps
Lay tortillas flat. Spread a layer of garlic sauce in the center. Add cooked chicken and sprinkle generously with cheese. Add parsley or lettuce if desired.
Step 4: Melt & Crisp
Fold wraps burrito-style. Place wraps seam-side down in a skillet or panini press over medium heat. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
Step 5: Serve
Slice in half and serve warm with extra garlic sauce on the side.
