Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Printable Version)
Warm, grilled wraps with garlicky chicken, melted mozzarella and cheddar - a quick, comforting weeknight meal.
# 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
→ Vegetables & Extras
12 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
13 - 1 medium tomato, diced
14 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
# Directions:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
02 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until completely cooked through and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest briefly.
03 - Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, sliced red onion, diced tomato, and baby spinach onto the center of each tortilla.
04 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
05 - Melt the unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
06 - Transfer the wraps to a cutting board. Slice in halves if desired and serve hot.
# Expert Tips:

02 -
- I once overloaded a wrap and everything slid out—less is more for tidy rolling.
- Switching from pan spray to real butter gave the wraps that irresistible golden crisp I craved.
