Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Pat the chicken dry and rub with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder. Heat a pan over high heat and place the chicken seasoned side down. Cook without moving for about 4+ minutes, then flip and cook until fully done. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Shred the rested chicken with two forks. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with diced celery, red onion, and scallions. Add cream cheese and shredded cheddar, mixing until fully combined into a creamy Southwest filling.
Step 3: Make the Cheese Wraps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Arrange the pepper jack slices evenly. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bendable. Carefully lift the edges to check if the slices peel off the paper in one piece.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Place a portion of the chicken filling along one edge of each melted cheese slice. Spread into a strip along the length of the cheese. Roll the slice into a wrap like a burrito, ensuring the seam rests on the parchment paper. Serve warm or allow to cool for a cold snack.

Cheese Substitutions: If you prefer a milder taste, swap pepper jack with cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, muenster, or colby jack. Pre-sliced cheese works best for uniform wraps.
Adjusting Spice: For a less spicy version, replace chili powder with paprika and choose a milder cheese.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve cold as a snack or warm briefly in the oven.
Meal Prep Tip: These wraps pair well with a keto-friendly salad or roasted vegetables to make a complete lunch or dinner.
