Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from refrigerator and let soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure easy spreading.
- If using uncooked chicken, season with salt and pepper, then cook thoroughly in a skillet until internal temperature reaches 165°F, then shred using two forks.
- Warm the tortillas slightly in a microwave or on a flat griddle to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the center of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer the shredded chicken on top of the cream cheese, distributing it evenly.
- Sprinkle shredded lettuce over the chicken, followed by diced tomatoes.
- Add shredded cheese on top of the vegetables for extra flavor.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a secure wrap.
- Optional: Slice the wrap diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper to keep warm.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for smooth, easy spreading.
- Chicken Perfection: Always ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F for food safety and optimal tenderness.
- Tortilla Trick: Warm tortillas slightly to prevent cracking and make rolling easier.
- Even Distribution: Spread ingredients evenly to guarantee a balanced bite every time.
- Tight Rolling Technique: Fold bottom up, then sides, and roll firmly to prevent ingredients from falling out.
- Optional Enhancements: Try adding sliced avocado, jalapeños, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Meal Prep Friendly: These wraps can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a quick grab-and-go lunch.
