Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

2 boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Vegetables and Wrap

4 soft tortilla wraps (use gluten-free tortillas if preferred)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped

Cheese and Seasoning

1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Slice boneless chicken breasts into thin strips. Toss them in olive oil, freshly minced garlic, smoked paprika, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), sea salt, and black pepper. Allow to marinate briefly while preparing other ingredients.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally to ensure even searing and to release the smoky garlic aroma.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add chopped red bell peppers and fresh spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly but keeps its vibrant color and the bell peppers remain crisp.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay soft tortillas flat. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables on each wrap. Generously sprinkle shredded plant-based cheese on top while the ingredients are still warm so the cheese melts to a creamy texture.
Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortillas inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately to enjoy warm, melty Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps.

Notes

Marinate chicken up to 2 hours ahead for deeper flavor infusion.
Use a plant-based cheese that melts well for the best creamy texture.
Do not overfill the wraps to prevent tearing and messy bites.
Cook chicken on medium-high heat to achieve a nice sear without drying out the meat.
Allow cooked chicken and vegetables to rest briefly before rolling for better wrap structure.
