Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from block)
- 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
- Handful of baby spinach (optional)
For Cooking/Wrapping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance recommended)
Instructions
- Prep the tortilla and pan: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel to make them pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Add baby spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients, creating a creamy, garlicky filling. Use a fork to break up any resistant cream cheese lumps.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing. Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Cook the wraps: Place wraps seam-side down on the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving them to achieve golden-brown grill marks. Watch for cheese starting to ooze slightly at the edges and a crispy outside. If the wraps brown too fast but cheese hasn’t melted, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat once cooked through and cheese is melty.
- Serve: Slice wraps diagonally in half and serve immediately while warm and cheesy.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.
- Shredding cheese from blocks ensures better melting and avoids starch additives.
- Softening cream cheese before mixing ensures even texture in the filling.
- Warming tortillas before filling prevents cracks while rolling.
- Cooking wraps seam-side down first helps keep them sealed.
- Optional baby spinach adds nutrition without altering flavor.
- Pair wraps with light salads or roasted veggies to balance richness.
