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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- Warming the tortillas before assembling helps prevent cracking and makes rolling easier.
- You can substitute chicken with turkey or another cooked protein if preferred.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
- Low-carb tortillas vary in carb count; be sure to check the label to fit your dietary goals.
- Adding baby spinach is optional but adds a nice pop of color and nutrition.
