Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts (or 3-4 chicken thighs)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (or taco seasoning for a different flavor)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas
Directions:
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from the skillet and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips or shredding it.
- Make the Creamy Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), ranch seasoning (or taco seasoning), and lime juice. Stir until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a plate or clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the creamy sauce in the center of the tortilla.
- Layer on the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro (if using).
- Wrap and Serve:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, securing the fillings inside.
- If you’d like, you can grill the wraps for 1-2 minutes on each side in a hot skillet to give them a little crispy texture.
- Slice and Serve:
- Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately. You can serve them with extra creamy sauce or a side of chips or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Make it spicier: Add sliced jalapeños, a drizzle of hot sauce, or spicy salsa to kick up the heat.
- Add veggies: You can also add sautéed bell peppers, corn, or avocado slices for extra flavor and texture.
- Meal prep: These wraps are great for meal prepping! You can prepare the chicken and sauce in advance, then assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat.
- Make it lighter: Use a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla, and opt for Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
These Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps are so easy to make, and they pack a punch of flavor with the creamy, savory filling. Perfect for a family meal or a quick and delicious lunch! Enjoy!
