Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and satisfying meal perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Packed with tender chicken, gooey cheese, and fresh garlic, they offer rich flavors while keeping carbs low. Plus, they’re easy to make and ready in minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (or use rotisserie chicken)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 handful baby spinach (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While it heats, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats the mixture.
3. 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 to form secure wraps.
4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly oozing.
5. Step 5: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half diagonally, and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Don’t overfill the wraps to prevent splitting during cooking.
• Warm the tortillas before filling to make them more pliable and less likely to crack.
• Mozzarella is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
• Substitute chicken with leftover turkey or add crumbled bacon for a smoky twist.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet or microwave until heated through, restoring the crisp exterior if using a skillet.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use different types of tortillas?

Yes, but low-carb tortillas work best to keep the dish keto-friendly and maintain structure during cooking. Regular tortillas may be softer and less sturdy for this recipe.

Is it necessary to toast the wraps before filling?

Warming the tortillas briefly prevents cracking when rolling and helps achieve a better texture when cooking them in the skillet.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
