Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
For Assembly
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup baby spinach or lettuce (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, and mayonnaise or sour cream in a large bowl. Mix well to create a creamy, cheesy mixture.
- Add Seasonings: Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the chicken mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined for a flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly in the center of the tortilla.
- Add Optional Toppings: Top the chicken mixture with baby spinach or lettuce and diced tomatoes if using, for a fresh crunch and vibrant flavor.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling securely.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor.
- You can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Adjust garlic and spices according to your preference.
- For a crispy exterior, press the wrap gently while cooking.
- Serve with salsa, ranch, or a spicy dipping sauce for added flavor.
