Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly here)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from a block recommended)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (add extra clove if preferred)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out 30 minutes before mixing)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Handful of baby spinach, optional
Wraps and Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet and Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Meanwhile, warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking during rolling.
- Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until cream cheese evenly coats the mixture, breaking up cream cheese first if needed to ensure smooth blending.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing approximately 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides like a burrito to prevent spilling.
- Cook the Wraps: Place wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown with crispy outside and cheese oozing slightly. Adjust heat to medium-low if browning too fast before cheese melts.
- Serve: Remove wraps from skillet, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while cheese is melty and warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenient flavor and time-saving.
- Shred your own cheese from blocks for better melting and no added starch.
- Softened cream cheese is key to an even, creamy mixture.
- Warming tortillas before rolling prevents cracking and tearing.
- Cooking wraps seam-side down ensures they hold together during grilling.
- Optional spinach adds nutrition without changing flavor.
- Pair with a simple arugula salad dressed with olive oil and lemon for freshness and balance.
