Ingredients

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or homemade)
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 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, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, salsa, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Lay a flour 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 inward and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining filling.
4. Optional: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove from heat, slice in half if desired, and serve warm with extra salsa on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the other ingredients.
• Don’t overfill the tortillas to prevent them from bursting while rolling.
• For a little extra crunch, pan-sear the wraps after rolling them.
• If using homemade shredded chicken, ensure it’s well-seasoned for maximum flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chicken for shredded beef or black beans for a vegetarian option.
• Add diced bell peppers or corn for extra texture and flavor.
• Try different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Serve with guacamole or sour cream for a creamy dip.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh side salad with lime vinaigrette
• Mexican-style rice or quinoa
• Chips and guacamole
• Roasted vegetables
• A side of refried beans
