Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced chicken in an even layer. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden on the outside and cooked through. Avoid crowding the pan — work in batches if needed.
- Stir in the minced garlic and Italian herbs. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the garlic.
- Add the diced bell peppers to the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring a few times, until slightly softened but still with some bite. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each one. Top with a generous handful of shredded cheese and a bit of fresh spinach or lettuce.
- Fold in both sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Place seam-side down on a plate and let rest for 30 seconds.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate leftover wraps in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best results, store the chicken filling separately and assemble fresh. Reheating: A skillet over medium heat (2-3 minutes per side) keeps the exterior crispy. Microwave works in a pinch — 60 seconds in a damp paper towel. Freezing: Wrap assembled (untoasted) wraps individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen at 375F for 15 minutes, flipping once. Substitutions: Chicken thighs work well in place of breasts. Use garlic powder (1/2 tsp per clove) if fresh garlic isn't available. For low-carb, use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
