Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to creating these delightful wraps. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup salsa (your choice of mild, medium, or hot)
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re looking for a lighter version, swap the sour cream for Greek yogurt, or use whole wheat tortillas for an added health boost. The beauty of this recipe is in its flexibility, just like how my abuela would adjust her dishes based on what was fresh and available.
Instructions
Ready to get cooking? Follow these simple steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, and salsa. Mix until well combined.
- Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture across the center of each tortilla.
- Top each with shredded cheddar cheese and a handful of fresh spinach leaves.
- Carefully roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to form a tight wrap.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before serving.
As my abuela always said, “Cooking is about trusting your instincts.” Feel free to adjust the seasoning or add more cheese if you’re feeling indulgent. The goal is to make it your own.
