Tips & Variations

  • Use cooked rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep time without sacrificing flavor.

  • Swap low-carb tortillas for lettuce leaves to make this a gluten-free option.
  • For extra crispiness, toast the wraps in the skillet with a little additional olive oil.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to maintain the crispy exterior and melted cheese, or warm briefly in the microwave if in a hurry.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 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 fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Cooking and Assembly

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps

Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up and coat the pan evenly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy, well-incorporated filling.
  3. Assemble the wraps: Evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto each low-carb tortilla. Spread the filling evenly, then roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the mixture securely.
  4. Cook the wraps: Place each wrap seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until the outside turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside melts completely.
  5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice them in half for easy serving, and garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
