Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup pimento cheese (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup diced pickled jalapeños (optional for a kick)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Pimento Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pimento cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, jalapeños (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Add the Chicken: Fold the shredded chicken into the pimento cheese mixture until evenly coated.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

          Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish. If desired, sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese on top of the wraps.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Cut each wrap in half, if desired, and serve warm.
