Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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 & Additional Fillings
- 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, cream cheese, and mayonnaise or sour cream until well mixed.
- Season the Mixture: Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the chicken and cheese blend. Stir thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly in the center of the tortilla.
- Add Optional Toppings: If using, layer baby spinach or lettuce and diced tomatoes over the chicken mixture for added freshness and texture.
- Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to encase the filling securely.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the wraps.
- Cook the Wraps: Place each wrap seam-side down on the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half, and serve warm. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara, if desired.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful option.
- Mayonnaise or sour cream can be used interchangeably based on preference.
- Adjust seasoning salt and pepper to taste before assembling.
- Optional fresh vegetables add a nice crunch and freshness but can be omitted.
- Press the wraps gently while cooking to ensure even browning and melted cheese.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture, as wraps may become soggy if left too long.
