1 teaspoon paprika
08 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
09 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano
10 -

→ Vegetables
11 -
1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)
→ Garnishes and Accompaniments
12 -
120 millilitres sour cream (for serving)
13 -
15 grams fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C to ensure even cooking readiness.
02 -
Rinse chicken breasts under cold running water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
03 -
Slice chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 2.5 cm wide, on a clean cutting board.
04 -
Create a marinade by mixing minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss chicken strips in the marinade until evenly coated. Leave to marinate for 15–20 minutes to maximize flavor infusion.
05 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange marinated chicken strips in a single layer and sear for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.
06 -
If using spinach, add leaves to the same skillet and sauté over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Set aside.
07 -
Lay flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Distribute cooked chicken evenly among tortillas. Top with generous amounts of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Add sautéed spinach if desired.
08 -
Fold the sides of each tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to seal the wraps securely.
09 -
Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Place assembled wraps seam-side down into the skillet, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side or until tortillas are golden brown and crisp, ensuring cheese is fully melted.
10 -
Transfer wraps to a cutting surface. Allow to cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm with sour cream on the side and garnish with chopped cilantro.
# Notes:
01 -
For richer flavor, marinate the chicken for several hours in the refrigerator. Adjust seasoning to taste before assembling wraps.
