Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 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)
Wraps
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil to coat the surface.
- Warm Tortillas: While the skillet is heating, place the tortillas in the microwave and warm them for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking and make them more pliable.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly while tucking in the sides, forming secure wraps.
- Cook Wraps: Place each wrap seam-side down into the preheated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes to allow browning, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside melts and slightly oozes from the edges.
- Serve: Remove wraps from the skillet, slice each in half diagonally, and serve hot. Optionally sprinkle extra chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Notes
