Ingredients
Scale
-
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Wrap:
- 4 large flour tortillas (or your favorite wrap)
- 1 cup smoked gouda cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup creamy ranch dressing or garlic sauce
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional, for added freshness)
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional, for extra crunch)
For the Garlic Butter Sauce (optional but amazing!):
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the seasoning mix and let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes (or up to an hour if you have time).
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
-
Assemble the Wrap:
- Lay your tortillas flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a thin layer of creamy ranch dressing or garlic sauce on the center of each tortilla.
- Evenly distribute the sliced smoked gouda cheese, fresh spinach leaves (if using), and red onion slices (if using) on top.
- Place a generous portion of the sliced chicken on top of the cheese and veggies.

-
Roll and Grill:
- Roll up each tortilla tightly to form a wrap.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. If you like a crispy finish, lightly butter the outside of each wrap.
- Place the wraps seam-side down and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the fillings according to your preferences. Add more veggies or your favorite sauce to personalize the wrap!
- If youβre looking for a healthier option, you can skip the butter grilling step and just heat the wrap on the stove.
Β
- The garlic butter sauce is optional but highly recommended for an extra burst of flavor!
