Ingredients
Wraps and Filling
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
- 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (like Frank’s)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 oz cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly to create a flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese along the lower third of the tortilla. Spoon approximately ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese, then sprinkle another tablespoon of cheddar cheese and a scattering of chopped green onion on top.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla tightly and roll it up from the bottom to encase the filling completely, ensuring no filling falls out during cooking.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking and help achieve a crispy exterior.
- Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the heated pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden and crispy crust. Cover the pan with a lid while cooking to allow the filling to warm thoroughly and the cheese to melt.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice in half, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Low-carb tortillas can be used to reduce carbohydrate content.
- Covering the pan while cooking helps melt the cheese and heat the filling evenly.
- Serve with a side salad or fresh veggies for a balanced meal.
