Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious, satisfying meal perfect for busy days. Packed with tender shredded chicken, gooey cheese, and a hint of garlic, these wraps are both flavorful and low in carbs.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly here)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from a block recommended)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (add extra if you love garlic)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (let sit out 30 minutes before mixing)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance preferred)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Handful of baby spinach, optional

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While heating, warm the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese coats everything evenly. Use a fork to break up any resistant cream cheese.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go like a burrito.
4. Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving to develop golden-brown marks. If the wraps brown too fast before the cheese melts, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately while cheese is melty.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself for better melting and no added starches.
• Let cream cheese soften completely before mixing to ensure smooth, even coating.
• Add baby spinach for extra nutrition without altering flavor.
• Try different low-carb tortillas if Mission Carb Balance isn’t available.
• Pair with a simple arugula salad or roasted vegetables to balance flavors and keep the meal low-carb.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Place parchment paper between wraps to prevent sticking. Reheat in an oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore the crispy exterior and melty cheese. These wraps can also be enjoyed cold.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese in these wraps?

Yes, you can substitute mozzarella and cheddar with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for some heat, but shredding block cheese is best for melting and texture.

Are these wraps suitable for freezing?

Freezing is not recommended as the tortillas may become soggy and the texture of the filling could change upon thawing. It’s best to enjoy them fresh or refrigerated within two days.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

---

Instructions

1. Prepare the skillet and tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking while rolling.
2. Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Add baby spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese is evenly coating the mixture, creating a creamy, garlicky texture. Use a fork to break up cream cheese if needed.
3. Assemble the wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, like a burrito.
4. Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown with crispy edges and melted cheese starting to ooze. Reduce heat to medium-low if browning too quickly before cheese melts.
5. Serve: Remove wraps from skillet, slice diagonally in half, and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

• Softening cream cheese before mixing ensures smooth, even filling.
• Using block cheeses shredded at home improves melt quality and reduces added starches found in pre-shredded cheeses.
• Microwaving tortillas with a damp paper towel helps prevent cracking during rolling and cooking.
• Leftover wraps store well in the fridge for up to 2 days; place parchment paper between wraps to avoid sticking.
• Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness and melt cheese instead of using a microwave.
• Optional baby spinach adds nutrition without strong flavor impact.
