Ingredients
Wraps
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
Chicken Filling
- 7 oz cooked chicken (about 200 grams, chopped; rotisserie chicken works great)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced or grated, adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (like Frank’s)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams; cheddar blend used)
- 1 green onion (chopped)
- Olive oil spray for cooking
Instructions
- Mix chicken filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, light Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
- Lay out wrap: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly.
- Add chicken mixture: Spoon approximately two-thirds of a cup of the prepared chicken filling on top of the cheese layer. Then add another tablespoon of grated cheese over the chicken, followed by a sprinkle of chopped green onion for a fresh bite.
- Fold wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling securely.
- Prepare pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the pan with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
- Cook wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until the wraps are golden brown and crispy. Cover the pan with a lid during cooking to help heat the filling through evenly.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan and slice in half diagonally. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
- Adjust garlic and hot sauce amounts based on your spice preference.
- For a lower-carb version, choose low-carb or high-protein tortillas.
- Covering the pan while cooking helps melt the cheese inside and warms the filling through.
- You can substitute cheddar with any cheese that melts well, like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
- If you want extra crispiness, brush the wrap with a little olive oil before cooking.
