Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips, cooking for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced sweet onion and julienned red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized. Add fresh spinach leaves and stir until they wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated sharp cheddar, softened cream cheese, and sour cream. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and creamy.
  4. Melt 1½ tablespoons of butter and stir in roasted garlic powder. Brush this garlic butter mixture on one side of each large flour tortilla.
  5. On the unbuttered side of each tortilla, evenly distribute the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and creamy cheese mixture, aiming for about ¾ cup of filling per tortilla. Roll each tightly.
  6. Return the skillet to medium heat and place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Once toasted, remove wraps from skillet and let cool before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.

Notes

Allow the chicken and veggies to cool slightly before assembling to maintain crunch. Use freshly grated cheeses for better melting. Warm tortillas briefly for easier wrapping and avoid overfilling to prevent breakage.
