Warm tortilla wraps filled with creamy seasoned chicken, melted cheese, and crisp fresh garnishes for a fast family dinner.

# Ingredients:

For the creamy chicken filling

01 - 2 cups (280 g) cooked shredded chicken
02 - 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/3 cup (80 g) sour cream
04 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
08 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 3/4 cup (85 g) shredded cheddar cheese
12 - 1/2 cup (55 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

For the wraps and garnishes

13 - 4 large 10-inch flour tortillas
14 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil or melted butter, for toasting
15 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
16 - 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
17 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or green onions
18 - 1 avocado, sliced
19 - Salsa, sour cream, and lime wedges, for serving

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, stir the softened cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until mostly smooth.
02 - Fold in the cooked chicken, cheddar, and Monterey Jack. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. The filling should be thick and scoopable.
03 - Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side or wrap them in a damp towel and microwave briefly until flexible.
04 - Divide the creamy chicken filling among the tortillas, placing it in a strip down the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, keeping the seam underneath.
05 - Heat the oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the wraps seam side down for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and hot inside.
06 - Let the wraps rest for 1 minute, then slice in half. Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro or green onions, avocado, salsa, sour cream, and lime wedges.

# Good to know:

01 - Best with rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken.
02 - Keep fresh garnishes separate until serving for the best texture.
03 - For oven cooking, bake rolled wraps at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, turning once.
