# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken & Marinade
01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 14 ounces), cut into strips
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Cheese & Wrap
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
→ Vegetables & Extras
12 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
13 - 1 medium tomato, diced
14 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Combine chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
02 - Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the marinated chicken to the skillet and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to rest briefly.
03 - Lay the tortillas flat and evenly distribute the cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, sliced red onion, diced tomato, and baby spinach along the center of each tortilla.
04 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling, forming secure wraps.
05 - Melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
06 - Transfer wraps to a cutting board, slice in halves if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
