Ingredients
For the Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded Approximately 250 grams
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 60 grams sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For Assembling
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese Approximately 100 grams
- Chopped lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Fresh herbs
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Gently fold in the diced or shredded cooked chicken, ensuring even coating of all pieces.
Assembly
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Distribute the creamy chicken filling evenly along the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and add optional garnishes such as chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, or fresh herbs.
Cooking
- For skillet cooking, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese has melted.
- For oven baking, arrange wraps in a baking dish and bake at 175°C for 10 to 12 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and lightly crisped.
Serving
- Slice each wrap in half, garnish with fresh herbs or an additional sprinkle of cheese as preferred, and serve warm.
Notes
For added flavor, you can use smoked or grilled chicken instead of regular cooked chicken. Substitute cream cheese and sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option. Customize with vegetables like bell peppers, olives, or jalapeños for additional flavor.
