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
- 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.
- Season the Mixture: Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla.
- Add Toppings: Top the chicken mixture with optional baby spinach or lettuce and diced tomatoes as desired.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other to form a secure wrap.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook the Wraps: Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice them in half if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture.

- These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge; reheat gently in a skillet or oven before serving.
