Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breast thoroughly by boiling, grilling, or sautéing until no longer pink. Once cooked, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or chop finely to create the protein base for the wraps.
Cook the Bacon and Jalapeños: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Using the same skillet, sauté the diced jalapeños just until they soften slightly to mellow their heat and develop flavor.
Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked jalapeños, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients form a creamy, evenly blended filling bursting with flavor.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling down the center. Fold the sides over and roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, enclosing all ingredients securely.
Optional – Toast the Wraps: For added texture and warmth, place the wraps seam side down in a hot skillet or panini press. Toast until the outside is golden brown and the cheese inside melts further.

Notes

Use fresh jalapeños for the best flavor and heat.
Mix cream cheese and cheddar well for a balanced creamy and sharp cheese texture.
Avoid overfilling to prevent wraps from bursting.
Lightly toast wraps for extra crunch and flavor.
Remove jalapeño seeds to reduce heat if desired.
