Instructions
- Marinate diced chicken with oil and spice blend, ensuring uniform coating for maximum flavor infusion.

- Prepare tortillas by spreading creamy garlic sauce across entire surface, creating a flavorful base.
- Layer seasoned chicken pieces evenly over sauce, distributing shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese for complete coverage.
- Carefully fold tortillas into compact parcels, sealing edges to prevent filling from escaping.
- Place wraps on preheated griddle or skillet, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until exterior turns crispy and golden.

Notes
- Customize the seasoning blend to match your taste preferences, experimenting with different spice combinations like paprika, cumin, or Italian herbs.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of traditional garlic sauce for a lighter, protein-packed alternative that adds tangy flavor and extra nutrition.
- Choose whole wheat tortillas to boost fiber content and create a more nutritious meal that keeps you feeling fuller longer.
- Swap chicken for plant-based protein like grilled tofu or seasoned chickpeas to make this recipe vegetarian-friendly and accommodate different dietary needs.
