Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chicken, sliced or shredded
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers (optional)
How to Make Chicken and Spinach Wraps
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- On top of the cream cheese, layer the sliced chicken evenly across each tortilla.
- Add the fresh spinach leaves on top of the chicken, followed by optional toppings like shredded carrots and sliced cucumbers.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly to form a wrap. Tuck in the sides as you roll to keep the filling inside.
- Once rolled, slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for later.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers or avocado for added flavor and nutrition.
- If you want extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or spices to the chicken.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the chicken with turkey or ham for a different protein option.
- Use hummus instead of cream cheese for a lighter spread.
- Add sliced bell peppers or red onions for extra crunch and flavor.
- Try using whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
What to Serve With It
- A side of fresh fruit, such as apple slices or grapes.
- A bowl of vegetable soup for a comforting pairing.
- Crispy baked sweet potato fries for a delicious crunch.
- A simple green salad to complement the wraps.
Storage and Reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheating is not recommended as the wraps may become soggy. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.
