Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup pimento cheese (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

1/4 cup diced green onions

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, pimento cheese, cream cheese, red bell pepper, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

      Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken and pimento cheese mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.

        Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is sealed inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

          Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolled wraps seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between each. If you have leftover shredded cheese, sprinkle it on top of the wraps for an extra cheesy finish.

            Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the wraps are hot and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing in half and serving.

                Enjoy your flavorful Baked Pimento Cheese Chicken Wraps as a perfect meal for lunch or dinner!
