Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 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
- 1 handful baby spinach (optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet and Warm Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil to coat the surface. Meanwhile, warm the low-carb tortillas by placing them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking or tearing.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using baby spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients and the mixture is well combined.
- Assemble the Wraps: Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the four warmed tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup of filling in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you roll to form secure wraps.
- Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving them for 2-3 minutes to allow the wrap to golden and crisp up. Carefully flip each wrap and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside has melted and is slightly oozing.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each one diagonally in half, and serve hot. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired for added color and flavor.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best melting and flavor, but light cream cheese can be substituted to reduce calories.
- If you prefer, substitute baby spinach with fresh kale or arugula for different greens.
- Ensure tortillas are warmed before assembling to prevent cracking when rolling.
- These wraps can be prepped ahead and grilled just before serving for convenience.
- Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet for best texture.
