Ingredients

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 olive oil
4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 handful baby spinach (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Meanwhile, warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covering them with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it now. Mix well until the cream cheese evenly coats the mixture.
Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to form secure wraps.
Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly oozing.
Step 5: Remove from heat, slice each wrap diagonally in half, and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

For added flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the chicken mixture.
Substitute spinach with arugula or kale for different greens.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the wraps from sticking and tearing.
To make it vegetarian, swap chicken for sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet over low heat until heated through and the cheese melts again. Avoid microwaving directly to preserve the wrap’s crispness.

How to Serve

The wraps have crisp, slightly charred spots on their soft tortilla layer, which encloses a filling made of creamy melted cheese mixed with small bits of grilled chicken and green herbs. The melted cheese is oozing out of the wraps, creating a rich and gooey texture contrasted by the tender chicken pieces and sprinkled herbs inside. The wraps are folded tightly, with the open ends clearly showing the mix of white cheese, light golden chicken chunks, and green flecks. The overall look is warm, freshly cooked, and appetizing. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese for these wraps?

Yes, feel free to substitute mozzarella and cheddar with any melting cheese you like, such as Monterey Jack, Colby, or even a spicy pepper jack for extra kick.

Are these wraps suitable for freezing?

While you can freeze them, the texture might change slightly upon reheating. For best results, freeze the chicken mixture separately and assemble fresh wraps when ready to eat.
