Warm, cheesy tortillas with garlicky chicken, spinach, tomato, and a golden grilled finish — ready in 40 minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Chicken & Marinade
01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (approximately 14 oz)
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Cheese & Wrap
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch each)
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
→ Vegetables & Extras
12 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
13 - 1 medium tomato, diced
14 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
# How to Make It:
01 - In a bowl, toss chicken strips with olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper until well coated.
02 - Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
03 - Arrange tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, and spinach in the center of each tortilla.
04 - Fold both sides of each tortilla toward the center, then roll up tightly to enclose the fillings.
05 - Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
06 - Slice wraps in half and serve hot.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It’s the kind of melty, savory wrap you secretly hope there will be leftovers of (pro tip: there won’t be).
- The combination of golden grilled tortillas, juicy garlic chicken, and stretchy cheese instantly boosts any mood, no matter the day.
02 -
- If you overstuff the wraps, they’ll stubbornly unravel in the pan—moderation is your friend here.
- I used to skip letting the chicken rest after cooking, but learned that a few minutes off the heat keeps it juicy.
03 -
- Warm the tortillas before assembling; they’re much less likely to tear.
- Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika on top before grilling for a toasty aroma and color.
