Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded Rotisserie chicken works great as a shortcut
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded melts best
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar recommended for bolder flavor
  • 0.25 cup cream cheese, softened Must be fully softened for smooth filling
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic preferred over garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Plus extra for garnish
  • salt and pepper To taste
  • 4 large low-carb tortillas 5g net carbs or fewer per tortilla recommended
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For cooking

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Skillet or grill pan
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the entire surface evenly.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper and mix until evenly combined.
  3. Divide the filling into four equal portions. Spoon each portion onto the center of a low-carb tortilla, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly to form a secure wrap.
  4. Place each wrap seam side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes without moving until the underside is golden brown.
  5. Carefully flip each wrap and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese inside is fully melted.
  6. Remove from the skillet, rest for one minute, then slice each wrap in half diagonally. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Cream cheese must be fully softened for a smooth filling. For extra heat, add 1/4 tsp chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne to the filling. Substitute turkey for chicken if desired. Use certified gluten-free tortillas to make this dish gluten-free. Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in a dry skillet over medium-low heat.
