Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a flavorful and satisfying meal perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Packed with tender chicken, melty cheeses, and a hint of garlic, these wraps are both delicious and low in carbs, making them ideal for healthy eating without sacrificing taste.

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. 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. Add spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese evenly coats the ingredients, creating a creamy texture.
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 like a burrito to avoid overfilling.
4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving to achieve golden-brown marks and melted cheese. If they brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately while cheese is still melty.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself for better melting and no added starches.
• Softening the cream cheese beforehand makes mixing easier and ensures smooth filling.
• Add baby spinach for extra nutrition without changing flavor.
• Pair these wraps with a simple arugula salad, roasted vegetables, or a garlic herb yogurt dip for a balanced meal.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Place parchment paper between each wrap to prevent sticking. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore a crispy exterior and melty cheese. Avoid microwaving to keep the wraps crispy. 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, feel free to substitute the mozzarella and cheddar with your favorite cheeses such as Monterey Jack, Colby, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. Just make sure they melt well.

Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Cook them just before serving to ensure they remain crispy and melty inside.

For the Wrap Filling

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shredded from block for best melting)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove for stronger garlic flavor)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Handful of baby spinach (optional)

Other Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Prep the Cream Cheese and Tortillas: Let your cream cheese soften completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure easy mixing and even distribution in the filling. Warm your low-carb tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel, to make them pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Add baby spinach if using. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese coats everything evenly, creating a creamy, garlicky texture. If the cream cheese is resistant, break it up with a fork before mixing.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four warmed tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to form a burrito shape.
4. Cook the Wraps: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Place wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown with crispy edges and cheese starting to ooze. If the wraps brown too quickly but cheese isn’t melting, reduce the heat to medium-low. Remove from heat once cooked and cheese is melted.
5. Serve: Slice the wraps diagonally and serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and warm.

Notes

• Using shredded cheese from blocks melts better than pre-shredded cheese which often contains anti-caking agents.
• Softening cream cheese fully before mixing is key for an even, creamy filling texture.
• Warming tortillas before rolling prevents cracking and makes for a neater wrap.
• Cook wraps seam-side down first to seal them and prevent filling from spilling out.
• Leftover wraps store well in the fridge for up to 2 days with parchment paper between them to avoid sticking.
• Reheat wraps in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness instead of microwaving.
