Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but adjust based on your crowd size.
Fresh Garlic: Choose firm, fresh garlic cloves for that robust flavor that defines this dish.
Creamy Cheese Blend: A mix of mozzarella and cheddar works best for melting and flavor.
Tortillas: Flour tortillas provide a soft base that holds everything together beautifully—choose large ones for more filling!
Fresh Spinach: Adds a pop of color and nutrients; look for vibrant green leaves with no wilting.
Olive Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for sautéing to enhance the overall flavor profile.
Salt and Pepper: Simple seasoning is key; adjust according to taste preferences.
Your Favorite Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with paprika or Italian herbs to elevate the flavor!

Let’s Make it Together

Prep Your Chicken: Start by dicing the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices—don’t skimp here!

Sauté the Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, toss in minced garlic until fragrant and golden brown—about 1 minute will do.

Cook the Chicken: Add seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through (about 6-8 minutes), stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Add Cheese and Spinach: Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the cheese blend until melted. Add fresh spinach last—cook until just wilted while mixing everything together.

Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon generous portions of cheesy garlic chicken filling onto each tortilla and fold tightly.

Heat It Up!: Place assembled wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes each) for that crispy finish.

Enjoy your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps warm! Serve them with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad for added crunch. Get ready for compliments from family and friends as they savor every cheesy bite!
