Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wraps and Toppings
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup baby spinach or lettuce (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise or sour cream. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy, cheesy base.
- Add Seasonings: Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the cheese and chicken mixture. Stir well to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture down the center of the tortilla evenly.
- Add Optional Toppings: Top the chicken filling with fresh baby spinach or lettuce and diced tomatoes if desired for added freshness and texture.
- Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from one end to form a secure wrap.
- Cook the Wraps: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet to prevent it from unrolling during cooking.
- Toast Until Golden: Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or salsa for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut, but any cooked chicken works well.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more garlic powder or paprika if desired.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Feel free to add other veggies such as sliced bell peppers or avocado inside the wrap.
- To keep wraps warm before serving, place them in a low oven (200°F or 90°C) covered with foil.
