Jalapeno Popper Chicken Wraps

Wraps are so good for combining different flavor profiles because you can mash it all together to really taste it all. Chicken is a great protein to carry the flavors of jalapeno, and cream cheese that you expect from Jalapeno Poppers. Adding in the bacon, ranch and cheddar cheese make from a delicious and easy meal. These are really great for a quick meal when people are in out at dinner time – as they are good warm and still good cold!

I removed about half the seeds and ribs (the pithy white stuff that holds the seeds) before adding them to the chicken meatballs. You could leave them in for more heat or take more out to lessen the impact. Truthfully, these meatballs really are not very spicy at all. It’s more about the flavor of the peppers coming together.

I used my Homemade Ranch for these wraps. It’s made with Greek Yogurt, chives and dill to get all those tangy ranch flavors. The ranch recipe is great for dips and salads too. If you want it a little thicker, you can reduce the heavy cream. If you want it thinner, just increase the amount of heavy cream. If you don’t have the time, or just prefer the bottle – that will totally work for this recipe.

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
