Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Printable version)
Warm wraps with garlicky chicken, melted mozzarella and cheddar, crisp onion, tomato and baby spinach.
# What you need:
→ Chicken & Marinade
01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 14 ounces), cut into strips
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 diameter)
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for grilling)
→ 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 - Combine chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl and toss until evenly coated.
02 - Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken strips and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove chicken from heat and allow to rest.
03 - Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, sliced red onion, diced tomato, and baby spinach among the tortillas, placing fillings in the center.
04 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the fillings, forming wraps.
05 - Melt unsalted butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cheese is completely melted.
06 - Serve immediately while hot. Slice wraps in half if preferred.
# Expert tips:

- The combo of crisp tortilla and molten cheese is the kind of secret you want to share only with your favorite people.
- It’s unbelievably adaptable — just swap the filling, and you’ve got a brand new dinner.
02 -
- Rushing the chicken means dry wraps — patience makes every bite flavorful and tender.
