Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced or sliced
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 soft tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- ¼ cup cream cheese or sour cream

- 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through (5–7 minutes).
- Push chicken to one side and add a bit more oil. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in cream cheese or sour cream and a splash of water or broth. Mix until smooth and coat the chicken.
- Lower heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted and creamy. Add lime juice, herbs, or extra seasoning if desired.
- Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
- Spoon chicken mixture onto tortillas, add optional extras, then roll or fold into wraps.
- Serve immediately or wrap and refrigerate for a make-ahead meal.
Notes
- Veggie boost: sauté bell peppers and onions with the chicken.

- Tex-Mex twist: use taco seasoning and top with pico de gallo and avocado.
