Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 pieces Fresh jalapenos
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Large tortillas (flour)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes (if you prefer less heat). Dice the jalapeno halves into small pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapenos until well combined.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Add a portion of the sliced chicken on top of the cream cheese mixture. If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
Roll up each tortilla tightly into a wrap. You can secure it with a toothpick if necessary.
Optional: For a crispy exterior, return the wraps to the skillet and lightly toast them for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Cut the wraps in half for easier serving and enjoy warm!
