Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 grams) cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 oz (227 grams) cream cheese package
- 8 oz (227 grams) pepperjack cheese, shredded
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1.5 tbsps (22.5 ml) taco seasoning
- Shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)
- Cooking spray
- Green onions
- Sour cream (for serving)
- Salsa (for serving)
Instructions
- Preparation: In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk cream cheese, Pepperjack cheese, and taco seasoning until achieving a harmonious, silky consistency that promises rich flavor depth.
- Filling Creation: Gently fold shredded chicken into the creamy cheese mixture, ensuring each strand is lavishly coated with the zesty seasoned blend.
- Wrapping Technique: Precisely center the chicken filling on each flour tortilla, strategically positioning the mixture to enable effortless, tight rolling with clean, crisp edges.
- Assembly Configuration: Meticulously fold tortilla sides inward, then roll into compact bundles, positioning wraps seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish with deliberate spacing.
- Pre-Baking Preparation: Lightly mist tortilla surfaces with cooking spray to cultivate a crisp, golden exterior, enhancing both visual appeal and textural complexity.
- Baking Process: Slide the prepared dish into a preheated 350°F oven, baking for 30 minutes total. Rotate wraps midway through cooking to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration and achieving a perfectly crisp exterior that promises delectable crunch with every bite.
Notes
- Cheese Blend Tip: Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing and easier integration with Pepperjack, ensuring a silky, well-combined filling.
- Chicken Preparation: Shred chicken while it’s warm for easier handling and more uniform distribution throughout the creamy mixture.
- Wrap Technique: Fold tortilla sides tightly inward before rolling to prevent filling from escaping during baking, creating a neat, compact package.
- Crispy Surface Trick: Spray tortillas lightly with cooking spray to guarantee a golden, crunchy exterior that adds delightful texture to each bite.
