Description
Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and satisfying meal featuring shredded rotisserie chicken mixed with creamy cheeses, garlic, and herbs, all wrapped in a soft low-carb tortilla and toasted to golden perfection. Perfect for a quick, flavorful, and low-carb lunch or dinner, these wraps combine creamy, cheesy richness with a hint of garlic and fresh parsley, balanced with optional spinach for added nutrition.
Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly here)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from a block for best melting)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if you love garlic)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out for 30 minutes before mixing)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Handful of baby spinach (optional)
Wraps
- 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. While heating, warm your tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients, creating a creamy and garlicky texture. Use a fork to break up the 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 to prevent splitting. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides like a burrito.
- Cook the wraps: Place each wrap seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and cheese starts to ooze from the edges. If browning too fast but cheese isn’t melting, lower heat to medium-low. Remove from heat once cooked through.
- Serve: Slice the wraps diagonally and serve immediately, while the cheese is still melty and warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for time-saving and enhanced flavor.
- Softening cream cheese beforehand helps with easy mixing and even distribution.
- Shred cheese from blocks rather than pre-shredded for better melting and no added starches.
- Microwaving tortillas wrapped in a damp towel prevents them from cracking when rolling.
- Optional spinach adds nutrition without altering flavor noticeably.
- Keep heat moderate to avoid burning wraps before cheese melts.
- Pair these wraps with a simple arugula salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice for a balanced meal.
