πŸ§‚ Ingredients:

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or grilled)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack, mozzarella)

  • 4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free if preferred)

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional for creaminess)

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Optional Add-ons:

  • Avocado slices

  • Lettuce or baby spinach

  • Hot sauce or chipotle mayo

  • Diced tomatoes or corn


Instructions

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions: Step 1: Make the Filling

Combine shredded chicken, cheese, sour cream, mayo, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Fold in chopped peppers, onion, and herbs.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

Lay tortillas flat. Add 1/2 cup filling in the center. Optional: Add lettuce, avocado, or hot sauce. Fold the sides and roll tightly.

Step 3: Toast the Wraps

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down. Toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

Cut each wrap diagonally and serve immediately with dips or salad.

Step 5: Store or Pack

Wrap in foil for meal prep or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or air fryer for best results.

Notes

πŸ“ Notes:

  • Warm tortillas before rolling to avoid tearing.

  • Swap sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a healthier version.

  • Freeze un-toasted wraps for up to 2 months.

  • To go dairy-free, use vegan cheese and mayo alternatives.

  • Add chili flakes or jalapeΓ±os for spice lovers!
