# What you need:
→ Chicken & Marinade
01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 14 oz), 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
# How To:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat the chicken.
02 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove from heat and allow to rest.
03 - Lay the tortillas flat. Distribute cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, and spinach evenly along the center of each tortilla.
04 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to form a wrap.
05 - Melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and cheese is thoroughly melted.
06 - Serve hot, cutting each wrap in half if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- When you're craving fast comfort food, this guarantees that stretchy cheese pull and juicy, flavorful chicken every time.
- You can adapt the fillings from whatever's in your fridge and never tire of the results.
02 -
- If you skip resting the chicken after cooking, it ends up dry instead of juicy inside the wrap.
- Layering cheese beneath and above the chicken locks in all the fillings — this game-changer keeps wraps from unraveling mid-bite.
03 -
- Let the chicken rest at least five minutes after cooking; it locks in the juices and keeps the wraps lush instead of dry.
- A sprinkle of cheese right along the seam before grilling creates the crispiest, most irresistible finish.
