Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well to combine until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Spread a generous amount of the garlic sauce in the center of each tortilla.
- Layer with sliced chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, and any optional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion.
Step 4: Roll and Serve
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll up the wrap tightly.
- For an extra touch, you can toast the wrap in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to get it slightly crispy and melt the cheese further.
- Slice in half and serve warm!
