Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 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 or wraps
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly blended.
  3. Step 3: Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the low-carb tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly to form wraps.
  4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam side down in the preheated skillet. Cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Tips & Variations

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep time.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Swap mozzarella for pepper jack cheese to add extra flavor.
  • Serve with a side salad or low-carb dipping sauce for a complete meal.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep the cheese melty without drying out the chicken.

FAQs

Can I use regular tortillas instead of low-carb ones?

Yes, you can use regular tortillas, but the carb content will be higher. Low-carb tortillas keep the dish lighter and more suitable for low-carb diets.

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Absolutely! The chicken and cheese mixture can be made a day ahead and refrigerated until you’re ready to assemble and cook the wraps.
