Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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)
For Wrapping and Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet and Warm Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Meanwhile, warm your low-carb tortillas by placing them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covering them with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
- Prepare Chicken 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, add the baby spinach now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients and the mixture is well combined.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four warmed tortillas, placing about half a cup of filling in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to form secure wraps.
- Cook Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes without moving them to allow a golden-brown crust to form and the cheese inside to melt and become slightly gooey.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half diagonally, and serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley if desired for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.
- Warming tortillas briefly helps prevent cracking when rolling.
- Optional baby spinach adds extra nutrition and color but can be omitted if preferred.
- Cook the wraps without moving them to get a crispy, golden crust.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes inside the filling.
