Description
Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps are a quick and flavorful Tex-Mex inspired dish featuring tender shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese, sour cream, and spices, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Perfect for a high-protein lunch or easy meal prep, these wraps can be enjoyed cold or lightly toasted for a warm, crispy texture.
Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
- ¼ cup salsa or chopped tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the creamy chicken mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped green onions, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are fully combined and evenly mixed.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it in the center of each one. Carefully roll up each tortilla like a burrito, folding in the sides as you roll to secure the filling inside.
- Serve cold or warm: For a cold wrap, serve immediately as-is. For a warm and crispy option, heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast each wrap for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and heated through.
- Slice and garnish: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve with additional salsa, guacamole, or a fresh side salad of your choice for a complete meal.
Notes
- These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prep or school lunches.
- For added nutrition and flavor, consider mixing in chopped spinach, corn, or black beans into the filling.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier flavor and added protein.
- Adjust spices to your taste preference, adding more chili powder for extra heat if desired.
