Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 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 fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 handful baby spinach (optional)
Wraps & Cooking
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. This ensures the pan is properly heated for toasting the wraps.
- Warm the tortillas: Place the tortillas in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel and heat for 10-15 seconds. Warming prevents cracking when rolling.
- Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using baby spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly so the cream cheese coats all the ingredients evenly.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides to keep the filling secure.
- Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, slightly oozing at the edges.
- Serve: Remove from skillet, slice each wrap diagonally in half, and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired for a fresh finish.
Notes
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
- Using low-carb tortillas helps keep this meal keto-friendly.
- Cook the wraps slowly to ensure the cheese melts without burning the wrap.
- Adding baby spinach is optional but adds a healthy green boost.
- Serve with a side salad or low-carb dipping sauce for a full meal.
