Ingredients
Scale
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.
