Ingredients
- 8 oz package of cream cheese
- 8 oz Pepperjack cheese, shredded
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 flour tortillas
- Cooking spray
- Shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)
- Green onions, for garnish
- Sour cream (for serving)
- Salsa (for serving)
Step-by-step Directions
Step 1: Preparing the Filling
Begin by combining the cream cheese, shredded Pepperjack cheese, and taco seasoning in a mixing bowl. Mix them thoroughly until well blended for a smooth and flavorful filling.
Step 2: Adding Chicken
Next, gently fold the shredded chicken into your cheese mixture, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Step 3: Assembling the Wraps
Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the eight flour tortillas. Place the filling in the center of each tortilla for easier rolling.
Step 4: Rolling the Tortillas
Tuck in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly to secure the filling. Ensure the seam is on the bottom to prevent it from opening while baking.
Step 5: Baking Preparation
Place the rolled tortillas, seam side down, in a 9×13-inch baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Step 6: Baking the Wraps
Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with cooking spray to achieve a crispy finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. After the initial 15 minutes, carefully turn the wraps over and continue baking for another 15 minutes until they turn golden brown.
