Instructions
- If using raw chicken, dice and cook in a skillet with olive oil until done; otherwise, shred or dice pre-cooked chicken.
- Combine the cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and softened cream cheese (if using) in a bowl, mixing thoroughly.
- Warm tortillas briefly in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or stack them in a dry skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture onto one side, leaving a small border.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil or cooking spray, and place wraps seam-side down; cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and melted.
- Remove from skillet, cool for a minute, then slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor and texture, consider adding optional fillings like diced bell peppers, corn, or jalapeños to the chicken mixture. Adjust seasoning to your preference, and feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.
