  • Cheesy comfort food: Ooey-gooey mozzarella and cheddar meet savory garlic and seasoned chicken. Heaven.
  • Family-approved: Even picky eaters will dive in—thanks to that melty cheese magic.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional, but hello, nutrients!)
  • ½ cup sour cream (for serving)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step: Making the Wraps

1. Prep & season the chicken

  • Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
  • Rinse and thoroughly pat dry the chicken breasts—no one wants watery seasoning.
  • Slice the chicken into 1‑inch strips on a cutting board.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, olive oil, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss the chicken in the marinade, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let it sit 15–20 minutes (or longer in the fridge if you’re planning ahead).

2. Cook the chicken

  • Warm a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil.
  • Add chicken strips in a single layer—cook in batches if needed.
  • Sauté 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through (165 °F internal temp).
  • Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.
  • If using spinach, toss it in the empty skillet for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted.

3. Assemble the wraps

  • Lay out tortillas on a clean surface.
  • Divide chicken evenly—about a quarter per tortilla.
  • Top with both mozzarella and cheddar. Don’t be shy—they meltedly lovely.
  • Optionally add sautéed spinach for a pop of green and extra flavor.
  • Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up to keep fillings snug.

4. Toast to golden perfection

  • Wipe out the skillet, return to medium heat.
  • Place wraps seam-side down, 2–3 at a time depending on pan size.
  • Cook 3–4 minutes per side until tortillas are crisp and golden. You’ll know it’s time to flip when they naturally release.
  • Let them rest a minute before slicing in half so the cheese settles (and you avoid lava-like melty disaster).

Tips & Tricks from Aneta

  • Overcrowding isn’t your friend! Cook in batches for browning, not steaming.
  • Cheese feels shy? Feel free to double it—trust me, I’ve tried, and no regrets.
  • No spinach? Try arugula, bell pepper, or skip it entirely—it’s still killer.
  • Leftover sauce? Mix sour cream with a squeeze of lime and chopped cilantro for a dreamy dip.

How do I store leftovers?

Wrap each one in foil or plastic wrap, then refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, a skillet or oven at 350 °F for 10 minutes gets them crisp again.
