Ingredients
Scale
- Large flour tortillas (soft, pliable)
- 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for brushing skillet)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional extras: sliced avocado, balsamic glaze, chili flakes
Instructions
- Chop the cooked chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces (about 1/2 cup). Roughly chop the fresh spinach (about 1 cup) and finely dice sun-dried tomatoes (1/4 cup). Set aside.
- Lay one large flour tortilla flat on your work surface. Using a butter knife or small offset spatula, spread about 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese evenly over the entire tortilla surface.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the cream cheese layer. Evenly distribute the chicken, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and a few fresh basil leaves (if using) on one half of the tortilla. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Fold the tortilla in half over the fillings to create a semi-circle. Then, gently press the bottom of the semi-circle upwards, forming a point to create a heart shape.
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush about 1 teaspoon of olive oil on the skillet surface.
- Place the folded tortilla heart in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted inside. Flip carefully using a spatula to keep the shape intact.
- Transfer the warm wrap to a plate. Optionally, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of chili flakes on top. Cut in half to serve.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Warm tortillas briefly if they crack when folding. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure crispiness. Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting. Let wraps rest a minute before slicing. Store wrapped in foil in fridge up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month.
