# What you'll need:
→ Chicken Preparation
01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Garlic Cheese Mixture
07 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
10 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
11 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
12 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
→ Assembly
13 - 4 large flour tortillas
14 - 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
15 - 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
16 - 1/4 cup sliced red onion
# How to make it:
01 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes and slice thinly.
02 - Combine mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, minced garlic, mayonnaise, and chopped parsley in a mixing bowl until evenly incorporated.
03 - Arrange tortillas on a flat surface. Spread each with a quarter of the garlic cheese mixture. Layer with baby spinach or mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, optional red onion, and sliced grilled chicken.
04 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form wraps.
05 - Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
06 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The garlic cheese spread creates this incredibly melty, flavorful layer that keeps every bite exciting
- These reheat beautifully for lunch the next day, maybe even better than fresh
02 -
- Letting the chicken rest before slicing is non-negotiable or all those juices end up on your cutting board instead of in your wrap
- Dont skip grilling the assembled wraps because that second melt transforms good wraps into something extraordinary
03 -
- Warm your tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave before filling to prevent cracking
- Use a sharp knife to slice the wraps or the cheese mixture will smear and look messy
