Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
4 large flour tortillas
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions

Directions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Chicken Filling

If using leftover chicken, dice or shred it into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Make the Cheese Sauce

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the chicken evenly among them and roll each tortilla tightly. Place the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

5. Pour Cheese Sauce

Pour the rich cheese sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure each is fully coated.

6. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbly and slightly golden around the edges.

7. Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot for a creamy, comforting meal that’s hard to resist.
