Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 large low-carb tortillas

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 handful baby spinach (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat skillet and warm tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat with olive oil. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covering with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if desired. Ensure the cream cheese coats everything evenly.
  3. Assemble wraps: Divide the filling among the four tortillas (about 1/2 cup per wrap). Roll tightly, tucking in the sides to form secure wraps.
  4. Cook the wraps: Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy and the cheese begins to ooze. Reduce heat if necessary to avoid burning.
  5. Serve: Slice diagonally and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill: Too much filling may cause the wraps to split during cooking.
  • Cheese tip: Shredding from a block gives better melt and flavor than pre-shredded.
  • Warm tortillas: Prevents cracking while rolling.
  • Variations: Swap chicken for leftover turkey or add crumbled bacon for smoky flavor.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days. Parchment between wraps prevents sticking. Reheat in oven for best crispiness.
