First, mix the diced chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece is coated well. Next, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the seasoned chicken. Cook it for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the chicken often until it is golden brown and fully cooked. Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat. Add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until it melts and mixes well with the chicken. Now, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the skillet with a lid. Let it cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts completely. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of the cheesy chicken mixture in the middle of each tortilla. Next, add a handful of fresh spinach leaves. You can also include optional toppings like sliced tomatoes and avocado. Now, fold in the sides of each tortilla. Roll it up tightly from the bottom. Secure the wraps with a toothpick if you need to. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas. For a crispy finish, place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

If you like heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne or chili powder. For a milder taste, use just salt and pepper. You can also swap in fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a fresh kick. For even cooking of chicken, cut it into small, uniform pieces. This helps the chicken cook through without burning. Always cook on medium heat, stirring often. To melt cheese without burning, lower the heat once you add mozzarella. Cover the pan to trap steam, which helps the cheese melt evenly. Pair your wraps with a side salad for a fresh crunch. You can also serve them with sweet potato fries for a tasty contrast. Dips like ranch or salsa are perfect companions. They add extra flavor and moisture to each bite. For a fun twist, try guacamole or a zesty yogurt sauce. You can find the full recipe to make these wraps in my previous section. {{image_2}} To make these wraps healthier, consider using whole wheat tortillas. Whole wheat adds fiber and nutrients. You can also add extra veggies to the filling. Chopped bell peppers, onions, or zucchini enhance flavor and nutrition. You can switch out mozzarella for cheddar or a cheese blend. Cheddar adds a sharper taste. If you prefer a dairy-free option, try dairy-free cheese. It melts well and tastes great. Adding fresh herbs like basil or cilantro can elevate the taste. These herbs bring freshness and vibrancy. You can also experiment with different spices. Try adding cumin or chili powder for a kick. These small changes can create new, exciting flavors in your wraps. To keep your wraps fresh, cool them down first. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. Then, wrap each one in plastic wrap. You can also use aluminum foil. Place the wraps in an airtight container. This keeps air out and moisture in. Store them in the fridge for up to three days. When you want to eat the wraps again, use a skillet for the best taste. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side. This will help keep the cheese melty and the wrap crispy. If you're in a hurry, the microwave works too. Heat on high for 30 seconds, then check. Add more time if needed, but be careful not to overcook. If you want to save wraps for later, freeze them. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. Be sure to remove excess air. These can last for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat, let the wrap thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat it in the skillet as mentioned above for the best texture. Yes, you can make these wraps ahead of time. Here’s how: - Cook the Chicken: Prepare the chicken mixture as directed in the recipe. - Cool Down: Let the mixture cool before wrapping. This helps prevent soggy wraps. - Wrap and Store: Place the filling in tortillas and wrap tightly. Use plastic wrap to keep them fresh. - Refrigerate: Store in the fridge for up to two days. If you want a vegetarian option, try these: - Tofu: Use firm tofu, diced and seasoned like chicken. - Beans: Black beans or chickpeas add protein and flavor. - Mushrooms: Sauté mushrooms for a meaty texture and rich taste. These options work well with the cheese and spices in the wrap. Keeping wraps crispy is easy with a few tips: - Use Fresh Tortillas: Fresh tortillas are less likely to soak up moisture. - Drain Excess Liquid: Make sure your chicken and veggies are not too wet before wrapping. - Wrap Tightly: Secure the wraps tightly to minimize air exposure. - Serve Immediately: If possible, serve right after making them for the best texture. These steps ensure your tasty wraps stay crispy and delicious! Cheesy garlic chicken wraps are simple and tasty. You start with seasoned chicken and creamy cheese.

Optional: sliced tomatoes and avocado for topping

Instructions
 

In a bowl, mix diced chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure chicken is evenly coated.

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, stirring occasionally.

      Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, stirring until melted and well combined with the chicken.

        Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken mixture, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted.

          Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Place a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

            Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves and optional toppings like sliced tomatoes and avocado.

              Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

                Don’t forget to secure the wrap with a toothpick if needed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.

                  For added crispiness, place the wraps back in the skillet seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they're golden brown.
