Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless Use high-quality, organic chicken for the best flavor. Pre-cooked rotisserie chicken works if you're in a pinch.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic adds the best flavor, but you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Quality extra-virgin olive oil enhances flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste Make sure to season well!
For the Wraps
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Look for a good melting mozzarella.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar adds a tangy flavor; add pepper jack for heat if desired.
  • 4 large flour tortillas Opt for fresh, soft tortillas.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves Optional, a great way to sneak in some greens!
  • 1/2 cup sour cream For serving.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while preparing the wraps.
  2. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts, then slice them into 1-inch strips for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and mix well. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the marinated chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  2. If using spinach, sauté it in the same pan for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Assembly
  1. Lay out tortillas and divide the cooked chicken into four equal portions, placing one portion in the center of each tortilla.
  2. Top each portion with ¼ cup of mozzarella, ¼ cup of cheddar, and spinach if using.
  3. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll up burrito-style.
  4. In a clean skillet, place the wraps seam-side down over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Let the wraps rest for about a minute, then slice in half diagonally and serve with sour cream and cilantro.

Notes

For the crispiest wraps, do not overcrowd the pan while cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Marinate chicken a day ahead for convenience.
