Grilled Cheesy Chicken Wraps

These wraps are honestly a bit surprising.  They seem so unassuming at first, but once you take a bite your taste buds are hit with a surprisingly complex combination of flavors.  The inside has a sort of modified chicken salad with a kick of spice to it that brings the perfect depth of flavor to the creamy and crunchy filling.  Wrap it all in cheese and toast it up in a skillet and you've got a winning meal.  Of course it doesn't hurt that the whole thing takes about 10 minutes to put together (assuming you already have cooked chicken on hand).

Grilled Cheesy Chicken Wraps

Number of Servings: 4
Time to Prepare: 10 minutes

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 ribs celery, finely diced
  • 2 Tbsp sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp salsa
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded or small-diced chicken
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 4 (12") flour tortillas
Stir together the mayonnaise, cilantro, green onion, celery, sour cream, salsa, and sriracha in a medium mixing bowl.  Add chicken and toss to coat.

Sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas, leaving a 1/2" border around the edges.  Arrange chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.  Fold sides over the chicken mixture and press to flatten slightly.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.  Spray wraps with non-stick cooking spray on both sides and place two wraps, seam side down, in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
