Ingredients

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Chicken Burrito Wraps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, salsa, and cilantro. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon half of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
3. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, enclosing the filling.
4. Repeat the process with the second tortilla and remaining filling.
5. For an extra touch, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve with additional salsa, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
• Feel free to spice it up with jalapeños or hot sauce if you like heat.
• Don’t overfill the tortillas to prevent them from tearing.
• Toasting the wraps adds a nice crunch and enhances the flavors.

Easy Variations

• Swap the chicken for black beans or cooked ground beef for a different protein.
• Add veggies like bell peppers, corn, or spinach for extra nutrition.
• Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for unique flavors.
• Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.

What to Serve With It

• A side of guacamole for dipping.
• Crispy tortilla chips with salsa or queso.
• A fresh garden salad tossed with lime vinaigrette.
• Mexican-style rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.

Storage and Reheating

These burrito wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave for about 30-45 seconds until hot.
