Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika.
2. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, mixing until all pieces are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15-20 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
2. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden and fully cooked through. Set aside to rest, then slice into bite-sized strips.

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Cheese Spread

1. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt). Set aside.
2. For an extra garlic kick, add a small pinch of garlic powder to the spread.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the creamy cheese mixture over the entire surface.
2. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, then place a few strips of cooked chicken down the center.
3. Top with fresh spinach, tomato slices, and red onion for a crunch.

Step 5: Wrap and Toast

1. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap.
2. For a warm, melty version, toast each wrap in a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

1. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for maximum gooeyness and flavor. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
