  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Complements the garlic beautifully.

For the wraps

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry chicken. Slice the chicken breasts into 1-inch strips for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, mix minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to marinate the chicken. Combine well, then add in chicken strips and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the marinated chicken strips in batches for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through.
  2. If using spinach, sauté it in the same pan for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  3. Lay out tortillas on a clean surface and distribute 1/4 of the cooked chicken onto each tortilla. Top with mozzarella, cheddar, and spinach if used.
  4. Fold the edges of each tortilla and roll burrito-style.
  5. In a clean skillet, place each wrap seam-side down over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Let them rest for a minute, slice the wraps in half, and serve with sour cream and cilantro on top.
