How to Make Creamy Chicken Tortilla Wraps
1. Make the Creamy Base
In a bowl, mix together:
- softened cream cheese
- sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- mayonnaise
Stir until smooth and creamy.
2. Season the Mix
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well to combine.
These seasonings give the filling a rich, comforting flavor with a hint of smokiness.
3. Add the Chicken & Mix-Ins
Fold in:
- shredded chicken
- shredded cheese
- corn (optional)
- cilantro & green onions
Make sure everything is evenly combined and coated in creamy sauce.
4. Warm the Tortillas
Lightly heat the tortillas in a pan or microwave for 10–15 seconds.
This makes them softer and easier to roll.
5. Assemble the Wraps
On each tortilla:
- Add a handful of lettuce or spinach.
- Spoon on a generous portion of creamy chicken filling.
- Add extra cheese or veggies if desired.
- Roll tightly like a burrito.
Slice in half and enjoy warm or cold!

Lightly toast on a pan or in a panini press for a warm, melty version.
