Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps are a great meal option—quick, flavorful, and super satisfying. Here’s a recipe for a creamy, tangy filling wrapped up in soft tortillas.
Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts (or 3-4 thighs), cooked and shredded (or chopped)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend cheese)
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix (or your favorite seasoning blend)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (fresh)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, optional)
- 1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed, optional)
- 2-3 large flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Sliced avocado (optional)
- Lettuce, spinach, or mixed greens (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the chicken:
- If you haven’t already, cook the chicken breasts (or thighs) and shred them. You can use cooked rotisserie chicken as a shortcut, too.
- Make the creamy filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise (if using), cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the shredded chicken to the bowl and mix until well coated in the creamy mixture.
- If using, fold in the corn, black beans, and chopped cilantro for added texture and flavor.
- Assemble the wraps:
- Warm the tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave for easier rolling.
- Place a generous amount of the creamy chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. You can add fresh avocado slices and lettuce or spinach if you like some crunch or extra freshness.
- Roll up the wraps:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the filling.
- Optional step—grill the wraps:
- For a crispy touch, heat a bit of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole).
Tips:
- You can add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, or bell peppers to the wraps for more freshness and crunch.
- If you want to make them spicier, toss in some chopped jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce.
These wraps are creamy, flavorful, and super easy to make. You could even meal prep them for a quick lunch or dinner. Enjoy! Let me know if you’re planning to add any fun twists or extra toppings!
