Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Wrap:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or garlic aioli (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable and slightly toasted.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warm tortillas flat and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or garlic aioli if using. Place a layer of fresh spinach, followed by slices of cooked chicken, and then add the sliced tomatoes and red onions.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the filled tortillas.
- Melt the Cheese and Wrap: Roll up the tortilla tightly to encase the fillings. Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down back onto the skillet over low heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the cheese inside is melted and the tortilla is crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm and cheesy.
Notes
- You can substitute spinach with romaine or mixed greens for a different flavor.
- For a spicier wrap, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier option.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated and gently reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- Adding avocado slices provides extra creaminess and nutrients.
