Tender Chicken Wrapped in Tortillas with a Rich, Creamy Cheese Sauce
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and cream cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken with half of the cheese sauce, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken mixture among them. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the top of the tortillas, making sure they are generously covered. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
