Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe - Recipe Image

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly here)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from a block for best melting)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if you love garlic)
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out for 30 minutes before mixing)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance preferred)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Handful of baby spinach, optional

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Warm the tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until cream cheese coats everything evenly, breaking up any lumps with a fork.
Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides like a burrito to prevent overfilling.
Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side without moving them until golden brown and the cheese starts to ooze. If browning too fast, lower heat. Remove, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use shredded cheese from blocks for better melting and no added starches.
Softening the cream cheese beforehand ensures easier mixing and evenly creamy filling.
Add baby spinach for extra nutrients without affecting the flavor.
For extra crispiness, cook wraps on a grill pan for those classic grill marks.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps wrapped tightly in foil or placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat to maintain crispiness and melt the cheese again. Avoid microwaving if possible to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese?

Yes, feel free to use your favorite cheeses like pepper jack or gouda, but keep in mind that some cheeses melt differently and can affect the texture.

What if I don’t have low-carb tortillas?

You can use regular tortillas, though the carb count will be higher. To keep it low carb, consider using large lettuce leaves or low-carb flatbreads as alternatives.

Filling Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from block)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Handful of baby spinach (optional)

Wrap Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance recommended)

Instructions

Prepare the skillet and tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While the skillet is heating, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
Mix the filling ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients, creating a creamy garlic filling. Use a fork to break up cream cheese if needed.
Assemble the wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four warmed tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll, similar to wrapping a burrito.
Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside starts to ooze. If wraps brown too quickly before cheese melts, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat once cooked.
Serve: Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately to enjoy warm, melty cheese and crispy exterior.

Notes

For best melting, shred cheese blocks yourself rather than using pre-shredded cheese.
Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to make blending easier.
Rotisserie chicken adds flavor and reduces prep time, but cooked chicken breast can be used as substitute.
Optional spinach adds nutrition without altering the flavor.
Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
Adjust skillet heat to avoid burning wraps before cheese melts.
