Ingredients
  

2 cups grilled chicken, shredded

½ cup green chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

½ cup ripe tomatoes, diced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded grilled chicken with the green chili sauce, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Prep the Wraps: Spread out your large flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface. For a touch of crispness, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side until they become pliable and slightly toasted.

      Assemble the Filling: Take a tortilla and spoon a generous layer of the marinated chicken mixture into the center, leaving about an inch of space from the edges. Next, sprinkle with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, a handful of fresh spinach, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion for a burst of flavor and color.

        Roll the Wraps: Start by folding the sides of the tortilla inward to encase the filling, then roll from the bottom up tightly, ensuring the filling stays secure within the wrap.

          Grill the Wraps: In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the wraps seam-side down in the hot pan. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted beautifully inside.

            Slice and Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the wraps from the skillet and allow them to cool for about a minute. Use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally for a professional appearance. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro to add a pop of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve your zesty grilled wraps warm alongside extra green chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an added kick!
