Mouthwatering Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps You Need to Try Today

Learn how to make delicious Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any melty cheese you prefer)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works best)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves (optional, but a nice fresh touch)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, to brighten flavors)

Substitution tips: If you don’t have flour tortillas, whole wheat or gluten-free wraps work just as well. For cheese, cheddar or Monterey Jack are great alternatives. No fresh garlic? Garlic powder can stand in, about 1 teaspoon, but fresh is always best for that punch.

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your chicken. Thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1/2-inch thick—this helps them cook quickly and evenly. If you’re short on time, ask your butcher to slice it for you, or buy pre-sliced chicken tenders.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the olive oil and mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Toss the chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let this sit for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes if you have the time. I often do this while loading the dishwasher or packing school lunches—multitasking at its finest.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly golden. You’ll know it’s done when the juices run clear and the chicken feels firm but juicy.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-low. Lay a big tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly down the center of the tortilla.
  6. Place a generous handful of the cooked garlic chicken strips on top of the cheese. Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves for a pop of color and nutrition.
  7. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheese over the chicken and spinach. The cheese on both sides helps everything stick together once melted.
  8. Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other, like a burrito.
  9. Return the skillet to medium heat and place the wrap seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted into that perfect gooey goodness.
  10. Remove from heat and let the wrap rest for a minute or two before slicing in half. A sprinkle of fresh lemon juice on top brightens the flavors beautifully—something I learned from my mom’s knack for turning simple dishes into magic.
