Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights. Combining tender shredded chicken, garlic, and melted cheese inside low-carb tortillas, these wraps offer comfort without the carbs. Ready in just a few simple steps, they’re a tasty way to stay on track while enjoying bold flavors.

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 clove if you love garlic)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out for 30 minutes before mixing)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (Mission Carb Balance recommended)
• 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 the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave 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 all ingredients. Use a fork to break up the cream cheese first if needed.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, similar to a burrito.
4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese begins to ooze. If they brown too quickly but cheese isn’t melting, reduce heat to medium-low. Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself to avoid added starches and ensure better melting.
• Substitute rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken or grilled chicken breasts.
• Add fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for a different flavor twist.
• Include chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
• For extra veggies, add finely diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the filling.

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. For reheating, use a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness and melt cheese evenly. These wraps can also be eaten cold straight from the fridge for a quick, protein-packed snack.

FAQs

Can I freeze these wraps?

It’s best to freeze the filling separately rather than the assembled wraps to preserve texture. Reheat the filling and assemble fresh wraps before serving for best results.

Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Yes, but low-carb, sturdy tortillas work best to hold the filling without tearing or becoming soggy. Mission Carb Balance tortillas are highly recommended for this recipe.
