  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cheesy Garlic Spread:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

For Assembly:

  • 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 2 cups mixed cheese (cheddar and mozzarella), shredded
  • Fresh spinach leaves (optional)
  • Fresh tomato slices (optional)
  • Sliced avocado (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken strips with salt, pepper, paprika, and half of the Italian seasoning.
  3. Add chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and nearly cooked through.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

  1. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed.
  2. Add sliced onions and bell peppers.
  3. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Season with remaining Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, stir to combine with vegetables, and remove from heat.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesy Garlic Spread

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise.
  2. Add minced garlic, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and dried oregano.
  3. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
  2. Spread a generous amount of the cheesy garlic mixture onto each tortilla.
  3. Place a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture in the center of each tortilla.
  4. Sprinkle with additional shredded cheese.
  5. Add optional fresh spinach and tomato slices if desired.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom.

Step 5: Cook the Wraps

  1. Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Place the assembled wraps seam-side down on the skillet.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  4. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

Notes

Pro Tips:

  • Marinate the chicken in advance with garlic, olive oil, and herbs for even more flavor depth.
  • Don’t overcook the vegetables – keep them slightly crisp for better texture in your wraps.
  • Toast the tortillas lightly before assembling for extra structure and to prevent sogginess.
  • Make a double batch of the chicken filling and freeze half for quick wrap assembly later.
  • For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before eating to maintain optimal texture.

Storage Instructions:

  • Refrigerate assembled but uncooked wraps for up to 2 days, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Freeze cooked wraps for up to 3 months. Wrap individually in foil, then place in a freezer bag.
  • Reheat refrigerated wraps in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Reheat frozen wraps in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes after thawing overnight.
