Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded from block for best melting)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if desired)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Handful of baby spinach (optional)
Wraps and Cooking
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure easy mixing and even distribution throughout the filling.
- Heat Skillet and Warm Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While it heats, warm your tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking during rolling.
- Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, fold it in now. Mix thoroughly, breaking up any cream cheese clumps with a fork until the mixture is creamy and well-coated.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, about 1/2 cup per wrap, placing it in the center. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, similar to a burrito, being careful not to overfill to prevent splitting.
- Cook Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side to develop golden-brown crusts and melt the cheese inside. If the wraps brown too quickly before the cheese melts, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from heat, slice diagonally in half, and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.
Notes
- For best cheese melting, shred cheese from blocks instead of using pre-shredded varieties.
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor due to seasoning.
- Softening cream cheese beforehand ensures creamy filling and easier mixing.
- Warming tortillas briefly before rolling prevents cracking and tearing.
- Add baby spinach for extra nutrition without altering the flavor noticeably.
- Serve with a simple arugula salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice for freshness and a balanced meal.
