Description

These creamy chicken and cheese tortillas are quick, comforting, and family-approved. Perfect for easy weeknight dinners with minimal prep!


Ingredients

→ Base Components

2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded

4 large flour tortillas

→ Cheese Sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese

½ cup cream cheese, softened

¼ cup sour cream

→ Seasonings

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

→ Optional Garnishes

Chopped lettuce

Diced tomatoes

Fresh herbs


Instructions

Make the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in the cooked chicken until evenly coated.

Assemble the Wraps:
Lay tortillas flat. Divide the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and any optional garnishes. Roll tightly, folding in the sides.

Cook the Wraps:

Skillet Method: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Oven Method: Place wraps in a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until heated through and slightly crisped.

Serve:
Slice wraps in half, garnish with fresh herbs or extra cheese, and serve warm.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time.

Try swapping in your favorite cheese blend or adding sautéed vegetables or black beans.

These wraps pair great with salsa, guacamole, or a side salad.
