Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from a block)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out at room temperature for 30 minutes)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if desired for more garlic flavor)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Handful of baby spinach, optional
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare Tortillas and Skillet: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Make Filling Mixture: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients, breaking up any clumps with a fork for a creamy, garlicky texture.
- Assemble Wraps: Evenly divide the chicken mixture among the four warmed tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling. Roll each tortilla tightly by tucking in the sides as you fold like a burrito.
- Cook Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy with cheese oozing slightly from edges. Adjust heat to medium-low if browning too quickly before cheese melts.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice each wrap in half diagonally, and serve immediately while cheese is warm and melty.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a fast and flavorful shortcut.
- Shred cheese yourself from blocks for better melting and no added starches.
- Softening cream cheese beforehand ensures easier mixing and creamier filling.
- Microwaving tortillas slightly with a damp towel prevents cracking when rolling.
- Add baby spinach to increase nutritional value without affecting flavor.
- Serve with low-carb sides like arugula salad, roasted vegetables, cucumber tomato salad, garlic herb yogurt dip, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
- If wraps brown before cheese is melted, reduce heat to avoid burning.
