How to Make Jalapeno Popper Shredded Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Prepare Your Chicken Mixture

If you haven’t already, whip up a batch of Jalapeno Popper Chicken Dip. Leftovers work perfectly and make this step lightning fast.

Step 2: Warm Your Wraps

Warm your burrito-size wraps briefly in a skillet or the microwave. This helps them become more pliable and less likely to tear when rolling.

Step 3: Assemble Your Fillings

Lay a wrap flat. Spoon a generous scoop (about ½ cup) of the creamy chicken mixture into the center. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, sliced red onion, green onions, and a few jalapeno slices. Go wild with the veggies if you wish!

Step 4: Fold and Roll

Plop the filling right in the middle. Fold one side over the filling, tuck in the sides, then continue to roll up burrito-style until sealed.

Step 5: Sear for Crispiness (Optional, but Highly Recommended)

For a golden brown, slightly crispy finish: Place your filled wrap seam-side down on a hot grill pan or skillet. Sear for a minute or two per side until the outside is crisp and the filling is warmed through.

Step 6: Slice & Enjoy

Slice in half on the diagonal and dig in! Serve with extra veggies, salsa, or even a side of chips.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use leftover Jalapeno Popper Chicken Dip for ultimate weeknight speed.
Don’t overstuff the wrap it will make rolling and eating a bit messy (delicious, but messy).
Warming the wraps first prevents tearing and helps them stay sealed.
If making ahead, wrap in foil and store in the fridge; crisp up in a pan or air fryer before eating.
For added flavor, brush the outside of the wrap lightly with olive oil before searing.
