Why You’ll Love This Creamy Chicken Cheese Wraps Recipe

This recipe delivers rich flavor with minimal effort. The cream cheese makes the filling extra luscious, while the chicken adds heartiness and protein. It’s a great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken, and the wraps are portable for lunches or picnics. Plus, they reheat beautifully.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

Rotisserie chicken is a popular choice for this recipe because it’s already cooked and super flavorful. However, you can use baked, boiled, or even grilled chicken breast or thigh meat. The key is to shred it finely so it blends well with the creamy base. If you like a smoky twist, smoked or seasoned chicken works beautifully too.

Ingredients for the Creamy Chicken Cheese Wraps

You only need a few everyday ingredients to bring this creamy wrap together, and each one plays a big role in building flavor and texture.

Chicken – Cooked and shredded chicken is the star of the show, adding protein and heartiness.

Cream Cheese – This gives the wraps that irresistibly creamy texture and slight tang.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese – Adds melty, gooey goodness and a sharp cheesy kick.

Tortillas – Flour tortillas wrap everything up and make it easy to grab and go.

Garlic Powder – A touch of savory depth that enhances the flavor of the filling.

Salt and Pepper – Simple seasonings that balance and boost all the flavors.

Green Onions – Optional, but they add a mild bite and a bit of color.

How To Make the Creamy Chicken Cheese Wraps

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. If you’re using green onions, toss them in too. Mix everything until fully combined.

Step 2: Fill the Tortillas

Lay out your tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each one, then roll them up tightly like a burrito.

Step 3: Toast or Warm

You can enjoy the wraps cold, but for extra deliciousness, lightly toast them in a skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melty inside.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Slice in half if desired and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

How to Serve and Store Creamy Chicken Cheese Wraps

These wraps are best served warm, fresh out of the skillet when the cheese is perfectly gooey. They also make an excellent cold lunch option or meal prep item. One batch typically makes about 4 to 6 wraps, depending on the tortilla size, feeding 3 to 4 people.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or skillet for a quick snack or lunch.
