A Brief History: The Wrap Craze

Wraps have become popular worldwide for their versatility and convenience. The fusion of Tex-Mex flavors, as seen in this recipe, brings together creamy textures with subtle spices that are perfect for anyone who loves Mexican-inspired cuisine. In fact, the tortilla wrap concept originates from traditional Mexican food, but has since evolved with endless creative possibilities.

Recipe: Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps 🌯✨

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Sauce: Start by making the creamy cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in half of the cheddar cheese.
2. Mix the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the freshly prepared creamy cheese sauce until all the chicken is well-coated and deliciously creamy.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Take a tortilla and place a generous portion of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to keep the filling secure. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the wraps seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour any leftover cheese sauce over the wraps and top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and heated through.
5. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, let the wraps cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Cooking Tips & Variations:

• Add Heat: If you enjoy spicy food, you can add diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture or sprinkle some chili flakes into the cheese sauce.
• Vegetarian Version: Swap out the chicken for roasted vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini for a flavorful vegetarian option.
• Low-Carb Option: Substitute flour tortillas with low-carb or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavor.

Pairing Suggestions:

Serve these creamy wraps alongside a fresh salad with avocado, or pair them with some homemade guacamole and salsa. For drinks, a zesty limeade or a cold cerveza complements the flavors beautifully!
