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. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if using and mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats the mixture.
  3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about half a cup in the center of each. Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides to form secure wraps.
  4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the heated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes per side, until each wrap is 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

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient option.
  • Add a few slices of avocado inside the wrap for extra creaminess.
  • Swap mozzarella for pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
  • For extra crispness, press the wraps with a spatula while cooking in the skillet.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and the cheese melts again. Avoid microwaving directly to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.

How to Serve

Two grilled wraps are placed closely on a white plate on a white marbled surface. Each wrap has a soft, golden-brown grilled exterior with dark brown grill marks and small green herb sprinkles on top. One wrap is cut in half showing inside layers: the outer flatbread wrap, a thick layer of melted white cheese mixed with chopped green herbs, and chunky pieces of grilled chicken with a light brown color, all oozing slightly from the wrap. The texture of the cheese looks creamy and stretchy. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (or 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 fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 handful baby spinach (optional)

Wraps and Cooking

  • 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Meanwhile, warm the low-carb tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel to keep them soft and prevent cracking.
  2. Mix the Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, 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 and flavorful mixture.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: 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 as you go, to form secure wraps that hold all the tasty filling inside.
  4. Cook the Wraps: Place each wrap seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside melts and begins to ooze slightly from the edges.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice each in half diagonally. Serve hot with extra chopped parsley sprinkled on top if desired for a fresh, colorful finish.
