Tender Chicken Wrapped in Tortillas with a Rich, Creamy Cheese Sauce

Ingredients:

For the chicken wraps:

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

6 medium flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

For the creamy cheese sauce:

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups milk

1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

¼ cup cream cheese

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.

Add the milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the cheeses: Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the shredded cheese and cream cheese, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep the sauce warm on low heat.

Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and place a portion of the seasoned shredded chicken in the center. Sprinkle with some shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Serve with cheese sauce: Pour the warm, creamy cheese sauce generously over the wrapped tortillas. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
