Introduction

Cheesy chicken spinach wrap is the perfect quick meal when you want something warm, creamy, and satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen. Tender cooked chicken is combined with sautéed garlic spinach and melted cheese, then wrapped in a soft tortilla and toasted until golden. The contrast between the crispy exterior and the gooey, flavorful filling makes every bite irresistible. This wrap works beautifully for lunch, dinner, or meal prep. For best results, avoid overfilling and toast seam-side down first to help seal everything perfectly inside.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (300 g)
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 2 cups fresh spinach (60 g)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 g)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (50 g)
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (30 g)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 g)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1 g)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sauté the spinach: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in fresh spinach and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted but still bright green.
2. Prepare the filling: Reduce heat to low. Add shredded chicken, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
3. Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry pan for 20–30 seconds per side until soft and flexible.
4. Assemble the wraps: Spoon the cheesy chicken spinach mixture into the center of each tortilla, spreading evenly without overfilling.
5. Wrap tightly: Fold in the sides and roll from the bottom up, keeping the filling secure inside.
6. Toast for crispness: Place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and lightly crispy.
7. Serve: Slice in half and serve warm while the cheese is melted and stretchy.
