Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and satisfying meal that combines tender chicken, melted cheese, and savory garlic wrapped in low-carb tortillas. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, these wraps are both flavorful and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
• 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
• 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. Meanwhile, warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using, add baby spinach. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese coats everything evenly. Use a fork to help break up the cream cheese if necessary.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides like a burrito.
4. Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese begins to ooze. If browning too fast before melting, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while cheese is melty.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself for better melting and no added starches.
• Rotisserie chicken adds extra flavor and saves time.
• Optional baby spinach adds nutrients without changing flavor.
• For a different twist, try adding sliced avocado or a sprinkle of chili flakes inside the wrap.

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 the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore a crispy exterior and melty cheese. Avoid microwaving for best texture, but they can be eaten cold if desired.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese?

Yes, feel free to substitute mozzarella and cheddar with your favorite cheeses that melt well, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicy kick.

Are these wraps freezer-friendly?

It’s best to eat these fresh or refrigerated as freezing may affect the texture of the tortillas and cheese. If freezing, wrap tightly and defrost in the fridge before reheating.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chicken Filling

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from block)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (add extra clove if desired)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 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 preferred)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Soften Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until fully softened. This makes mixing easier and ensures an even creamy texture in the filling.
2. Preheat Skillet and Warm Tortillas: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Meanwhile, warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking during rolling.
3. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and optional baby spinach. Mix thoroughly until cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients, creating a creamy and flavorful filling. Use a fork to break up any clumps of cream cheese if necessary.
4. Assemble Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you wrap like a burrito.
5. Cook Wraps: Place wraps seam-side down into the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving them to achieve golden brown, crispy marks. Cheese should start to ooze slightly when done. If browning too fast but cheese hasn’t melted, lower heat to medium-low. Remove from heat once both sides are crispy and cheese is melted.
6. Serve: Slice wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.

Notes

• Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.
• Shredding fresh cheese from blocks improves melting quality.
• Softening cream cheese before mixing prevents clumps.
• Warming tortillas briefly prevents cracking while rolling.
• Cook wraps seam-side down first to keep them closed and achieve crispy texture.
• Store leftovers in airtight container with parchment paper between wraps to avoid sticking; refrigerate up to 2 days.
• Reheat in oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes for best texture; avoid microwave reheating to maintain crispiness.
• Optional spinach adds nutrition without altering flavor significantly.
