Step-by-Step Guide to Making Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps

Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, bell peppers, green onions, cilantro, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture is creamy.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving about an inch around the edges to avoid spillage when rolling.
Roll the Tortillas
Tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to trim off the uneven edges, then slice the roll into pinwheels if serving as an appetizer.

Chill or Heat
- For cold wraps, place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before slicing.
- For warm wraps, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the rolled tortillas for 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly crispy and warmed through.

Serve and Enjoy
Arrange the wraps or pinwheels on a platter and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve with dipping sauces like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for added flavor.

Variations and Tips

Add Some Heat
If you enjoy spicy food, include diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or a pinch of cayenne pepper in the filling.
Vegetarian Option
Replace the chicken with black beans, corn, and diced avocado for a delicious vegetarian version.

Make it Gluten-Free
Use gluten-free tortillas to cater to dietary restrictions.
Meal Prep-Friendly
These wraps store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prepping. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use rotisserie chicken for this recipe?
Yes! Rotisserie chicken works wonderfully as it’s already cooked and flavorful, saving you prep time.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?
Ensure the chicken mixture isn’t overly wet, and don’t spread the filling all the way to the edges. Refrigerating the wraps before slicing also helps maintain their texture.

Can I freeze these wraps?
While they’re best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the wraps before slicing. Wrap them tightly in foil and store them in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator and heat as desired.
