Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious, satisfying meal that combines tender shredded chicken with creamy, melted cheese and a burst of garlic flavor. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, these wraps are easy to prepare and use low-carb tortillas to keep things light 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 an extra clove if you love garlic)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 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. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
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 cream cheese coats everything evenly.
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.
4. Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side without moving them until golden brown and cheese starts to ooze. Reduce heat if browning too fast. Remove, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use block cheese and shred it yourself for better melting and no added starches.
• Try adding different herbs like cilantro or basil for a fresh twist on flavor.
• Include baby spinach to boost nutrition without altering the taste noticeably.
• For extra crispiness, toast the wraps in the oven after cooking on the skillet.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, placing parchment paper between each wrap to prevent sticking. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to maintain a crispy exterior and melted cheese. These wraps can also be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge as a quick protein-packed lunch. For meal prep, assemble uncooked wraps in the morning and toast fresh when ready to eat.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chicken?

Yes, shredded rotisserie chicken is recommended for convenience and flavor, but you can also use cooked chicken breast or thighs that you shred yourself.

What if I don’t have low-carb tortillas?

Regular tortillas can be used, but the carb count will be higher. Look for sturdy tortillas that won’t tear easily when rolling.
