  • 1½ pounds chicken breast sliced into thin strips
  • 5 garlic cloves freshly minced
  • 1 teaspoon Mediterranean herb blend
  • ½ teaspoon smoky paprika
  • A pinch of chili flakes customize to spice tolerance
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 sweet onion thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
For the Cheese Blend:
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar freshly grated
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons fresh chives finely chopped
For Wrap Assembly:
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1½ tablespoons melted butter
  • ¾ teaspoon roasted garlic powder

Method
 

Season and Cook the Chicken:
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil until shimmering.
  2. Toss chicken strips with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook chicken in a single layer for 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
Create the Aromatic Vegetable Base:
  1. In the same skillet, cook onions for 2 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in Mediterranean herb blend, paprika, and chili flakes.
  4. Add bell peppers and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, toss to combine, and fold in spinach until wilted (about 45 seconds). Remove from heat.
Prepare the Cheese Blend:
  1. Mix mozzarella and cheddar in a bowl. Combine ⅔ of this with cream cheese and sour cream.
  2. Fold in chives, reserving some for garnish. Set aside remaining dry cheese for sprinkling.
Prepare the Garlic-Butter Tortillas:
  1. Mix melted butter with roasted garlic powder.
  2. Brush one side of each tortilla with the butter mixture and place buttered side down.
  3. Spread 2 tablespoons of creamy cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border.
  4. Add ⅙ of the chicken-vegetable mixture and sprinkle with a tablespoon of reserved dry cheese.
  5. Fold the bottom edge up, fold in sides, and roll tightly to seal, keeping the buttered side out.
  6. Set aside seam-side down.
Cook the Wraps:
  1. Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted. Cover with a lid for the last minute if desired.
  4. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
