Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
- Prep the skillet and warm tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Meanwhile, warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
- Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using, add the baby spinach. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four warmed low-carb tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup of filling in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking the sides in as you go to form secure wraps.
- Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side without moving them, until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted, slightly oozing from the edges.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice each wrap diagonally in half. Serve hot with extra chopped parsley as garnish if desired.
Notes
- Do not overfill the wraps to prevent splitting during cooking.
- Warming the tortillas before assembling helps prevent cracking while rolling.
- Mozzarella adds a classic cheesy texture, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses.
- Optional spinach adds a fresh, healthy touch to the filling.
- You can substitute chicken with leftover turkey or add crumbled bacon for a smoky flavor.
- Toast the wraps to get a crispy exterior and melted cheese inside.
