While the chicken cooks, warm the tortillas on a dry pan for 20 seconds each side until pliable.

On each tortilla, layer fresh spinach leaves and sliced red onion. Then spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture over the veggies.
Sprinkle equal amounts of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up and then roll tightly!
Place the wraps seam-side down back into the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden and crisp. 🔥

Pro Tips

Storage: Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or store in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
Chicken Substitution: Swap chicken for turkey breast or even shredded beef roast for a variation without losing the savory flavor.
Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce into the garlic sauce for a spicy kick.
Cheese Options: Use Monterey Jack, provolone, or pepper jack cheese in place of mozzarella for a different cheesy vibe.

Variations

Vegetarian: Replace chicken with sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or plant-based chicken strips. Use extra cheese and garlic for richness.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary needs without compromising on taste or convenience.
Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare chicken and garlic sauce in advance. Assemble wraps fresh or wrap preassembled wraps in parchment paper and refrigerate.
Added Crunch: Include fresh sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, or crunchy lettuce inside the wrap for extra texture and freshness.
