Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt & pepper, then sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté veggies & spices: In the same skillet, cook onions for 2 minutes. Add garlic, spices, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened. Return chicken to the pan and toss in spinach until just wilted.
  3. Make the cheese blend: In a bowl, mix ⅔ of mozzarella + cheddar with cream cheese, sour cream, and chives. Reserve the remaining cheese for assembly.
  4. Prep tortillas: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush one side of each tortilla. Place buttered side down on a clean surface.
  5. Assemble: Spread 2 tbsp cheese mixture in the center, top with chicken-vegetable mix, sprinkle extra cheese, and wrap tightly (fold bottom, then sides, then roll).
  6. Grill to perfection: Heat a skillet over medium. Cook wraps seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Cover for the last minute for extra melty cheese.
  7. Serve & enjoy: Slice diagonally, sprinkle extra chives, and serve hot.

Pro Tips

  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or jalapeños for heat.
  • Cheese swap: Try Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different twist.
  • Make ahead: Assemble wraps and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; cook when ready.
