Ingredients
(Serves 4–6)
- 2 cups cooked chicken , shredded
- 1 cup tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1 cup cream cheese , softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup green onions , chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Creamy Chicken Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken , softened cream cheese , sour cream , shredded cheddar cheese , chopped green onions , garlic powder , onion powder , salt , and pepper . Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
2. Warm the Tortillas
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil .
- Warm each tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, until soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can microwave the tortillas for 20–30 seconds, wrapped in a damp paper towel, to soften them.
3. Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon a generous portion of the creamy chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla, spreading it evenly but leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
4. Optional: Toast the Wraps
- For a golden, crispy exterior, return the assembled wraps to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and toasted. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the wraps diagonally into halves or quarters for a neat presentation.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa, ranch, or guacamole. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or shredded cheese if desired.
Tips for Success
- Customize Your Filling: Add diced jalapeños, roasted red peppers, or black beans for extra flavor and texture.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the wraps ahead of time, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
- Freeze for Later: Wrap the assembled (uncooked) wraps tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using store-bought rotisserie chicken for the shredded chicken component.
