Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or 1 tablespoon taco seasoning for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- Salsa or sour cream (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
- In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and ranch dressing (or taco seasoning). Stir until well combined.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay each tortilla flat on a surface.
- Spread an even layer of the cheesy chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add a small handful of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes (if using) on top of the chicken mixture.
- Wrap the Tortillas:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, securing the filling inside.
- Cook the Wraps:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
- Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Serve:
- Remove from the skillet and slice each wrap in half. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream if desired.
Notes
- You can use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- If you prefer a lighter version, use whole wheat tortillas and swap the cream cheese for Greek yogurt.
- Add a drizzle of hot sauce or sriracha for an extra kick.
