Step-by-Step Guide to Wrap Perfection

Follow these steps to create the most delicious wraps you’ve ever had.

Part 1: Cook the Filling

Season and Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, Mediterranean herbs, smoked paprika, and chili flakes. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Wilt the Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until it has just wilted. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss everything together. Remove from heat.

Part 2: Prepare the Cheese Blend & Glaze

Mix the Cheeses: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives. Mix until you have a thick, spreadable cheese blend.
Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and the roasted garlic powder.

Part 3: Assemble and Grill the Wraps

Glaze the Tortillas: Lay out the tortillas. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over one side of each tortilla.
Assemble: Flip the tortillas over (garlic butter side down). On the plain side, spread a layer of the creamy cheese blend. Top with a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture, and then sprinkle with a little extra shredded cheese if desired.
Fold Securely: Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure burrito-style wrap.
Grill to Perfection: Heat a clean, large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the exterior is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese inside is completely melted and gooey.
Serve: Let the wraps rest for a minute, then slice them in half and serve immediately.

6 large flour tortillas
1.5 tablespoons butter melted
0.75 teaspoon roasted garlic powder

Instructions

Season chicken strips with salt, pepper, Mediterranean herbs, smoked paprika, and chili flakes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onion and red bell pepper for 5–7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to combine. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, mix mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives until combined into a creamy blend.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with roasted garlic powder to make the garlic butter glaze.
Lay out tortillas and brush one side of each with the garlic butter glaze.
Flip tortillas over. On the unglazed side, spread a layer of the cheese blend, then top with chicken and veggie mixture. Sprinkle extra cheese if desired.
Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla tightly into a burrito-style wrap.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and grill 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
Let wraps rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra cheesy interior, sprinkle some shredded cheese over the chicken before folding. Great with a side of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
