Method
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and onion powder, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the garlic butter. Stir everything together until the chicken is fully coated in the fragrant sauce. Remove from the heat.
- Warm your tortillas briefly in the microwave or a dry pan to make them more pliable. Lay a tortilla flat. If using, spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese down the center. Top with a quarter of the garlic chicken mixture and a generous handful (about 1/2 cup) of shredded cheese.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tightly roll it from the bottom up to create a secure burrito-style wrap.
- Wipe the skillet clean and place it over medium heat. You can add a small amount of butter or oil if needed. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.

Notes
For the best melt, buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself. Pre-shredded cheeses often contain anti-caking agents that can prevent a smooth melt.
To prevent your wraps from falling apart, avoid overstuffing them. A good balance of chicken and cheese is key.
