Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly here)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from block)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional extra clove for more garlic flavor)
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out of fridge 30 minutes before mixing)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Handful of baby spinach (optional)

Wraps and Cooking

4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance recommended)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
