Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese:
- 2 cups (480 ml) cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cream cheese, softened
Wrap and Vegetable Components:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup (240 ml) lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) diced tomatoes (optional)
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) taco seasoning (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil (for cooking)
Optional Serving Accompaniments:
- Salsa (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Create a delectable filling by combining tender cooked chicken with melted cheddar, creamy cream cheese, and zesty ranch dressing, ensuring a smooth and flavorful mixture.
- Carefully position tortillas on a clean work surface, preparing them for the upcoming delicious transformation.
- Distribute the chicken mixture evenly across the center of each tortilla, maintaining a small perimeter to prevent overflow during rolling.
- Enhance the wrap’s texture and freshness by sprinkling crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes atop the chicken blend.
- Execute a precise folding technique: gently tuck the tortilla’s sides inward, then roll from the bottom upward, creating a compact and secure package.
- Warm a skillet with a light coating of olive oil, bringing it to a medium heat that will create a golden, crispy exterior.
- Strategically place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet, allowing each side to transform into a beautifully bronzed, crisp shell.
- Monitor the cooking process, rotating the wraps to achieve an even, appetizing golden-brown color and ensure the interior cheese melts completely.
- Once perfectly cooked, transfer the wraps to a cutting board and slice diagonally, revealing the enticing interior.
- Present the wraps with optional accompaniments like vibrant salsa, creamy guacamole, or tangy sour cream to elevate the dining experience.
Notes
- Customize protein by substituting chicken with shredded turkey, pulled pork, or plant-based alternatives for diverse dietary needs.
- Use low-fat cheese and Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese to create a lighter, healthier version of the wrap.
- Toast tortillas briefly before filling to enhance their texture and prevent soggy bottoms, ensuring a crispy exterior.
- Experiment with additional herbs like cilantro or green onions to elevate the flavor profile and add freshness to the chicken mixture.
