Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
