Step-by-Step Instructions for Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Prepare the chicken: Dice 2 large chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Cook chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
Make garlic cheese sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 3 cloves minced garlic, cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in 1 cup shredded mozzarella and ½ cup cream cheese. Cook, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Combine filling: Add cooked chicken into the garlic cheese sauce, mix well. Adjust salt seasoning.
Warm wraps: Heat 4 large flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side until flexible.
Assemble: Spoon the chicken and cheesy garlic filling onto the center of each wrap. Add optional fillings like fresh spinach or sliced tomatoes for freshness.
Fold and serve: Fold the tortilla sides inward and roll to enclose the filling. Serve warm with a side salad or dipping sauce.
