Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or flatbreads
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- A handful of baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
- Warm a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil so it gets hot while you assemble the wraps. Briefly heat the tortillas (10–15 seconds under a damp paper towel in the microwave) so they bend without cracking.
- In a bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you’re using spinach, fold it into the mixture now. Work the cream cheese through the mix until it’s evenly distributed and coats the chicken.
- Divide the filling into four portions. Place each portion down the center of a tortilla (about 1/2 cup each) and roll tightly, folding the ends in as you roll to make a compact burrito-style wrap.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet. Press gently and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once, until each side is nicely browned and the cheese has melted. If the outside is browning too fast, lower the heat so the interior has time to warm through.
- Transfer to a cutting board, slice on the diagonal, and serve immediately. Sprinkle extra parsley over the top if you like.
Notes
Quick tips & swaps
Don’t overfill — too much stuffing makes the tortilla tear during cooking.
Warm the wraps before filling to prevent cracking.
Cheese options: Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend of cheeses melt well if you want a different flavor.
Protein swaps: Use leftover turkey, pulled pork, or add crumbled bacon for a smoky note.
Make-ahead: Assemble wraps cold and refrigerate; toast just before eating to keep them crisp.
Pro tip: Shredding cheese from a block melts cleaner than pre-shredded cheese (which often contains anti-caking agents).
