 Instructions

 Step 1: Cook the Garlic Chicken

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add diced chicken, season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through.

  4. Add minced garlic in the last 1–2 minutes, stirring to coat the chicken and let the garlic become fragrant but not burnt.

  5. Optional: Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

Meal Prep Tip: You can make the chicken up to 3 days in advance and store in the fridge.

 Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface.

  2. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese or garlic mayo over the center.

  3. Add a handful of spinach or lettuce.

  4. Top with ¼ of the garlic chicken, a sprinkle of red onions (if using), and a generous handful of shredded cheese.

  5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly like a burrito.

 Step 3: Toast the Wraps

Option 1: Skillet (Recommended)

  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and spray lightly with oil.

  • Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.

Option 2: Oven

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Place wraps on a baking sheet, brush lightly with oil or garlic butter.

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Option 3: Air Fryer

  • Preheat air fryer to 380°F (195°C).

  • Spray wraps lightly with cooking spray.

  • Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.

 Step 4: Serve

Cut in half and serve with your favorite dips:

  • Ranch or garlic aioli

  • Sriracha mayo

  • Salsa or guacamole

  • Creamy Caesar or tzatziki

 Storage & Meal Prep Tips

  • Fridge: Store wrapped (uncooked) wraps in foil or containers for up to 3 days.

  • Freeze: Freeze assembled wraps before cooking. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then toast or bake.

  • Reheat: Toast in skillet or air fryer to maintain crispness.
