# What You’ll 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 Steps:
01 - Combine chicken strips, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure even coating.
02 - Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is thoroughly cooked and develops a light golden color. Remove from skillet and let rest.
03 - Lay flour tortillas flat. Portion the cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, red onion, tomato, and spinach evenly along the center of each tortilla.
04 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling, creating compact wraps.
05 - Melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until exterior is golden and cheese has fully melted.
06 - Slice wraps in half if desired and serve hot.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The crispy, buttery wrap hides melted cheese and garlicky chicken in every bite — this is no ordinary sandwich.
- It turns basic fridge staples into something wildly satisfying and customizable for everyone at the table.
02 -
- Once I rushed and overfilled the wraps — they exploded in the pan, so less is more for rollability.
- Browning them in butter instead of oil is a total game-changer for flavor and crunch.
03 -
- Preheat your skillet well before grilling — that instant sizzle sets the golden crust.
- Use parchment to separate wraps if making ahead so they don't get soggy or stick together.
