Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
Chicken Filling
- 7 oz cooked chicken (about 200 g), chopped (rotisserie works great)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
- 2 tsp hot sauce (like Frank’s)
- ¼ tsp salt
Cheese and Garnish
- 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 g, cheddar blend recommended)
- 1 green onion, chopped
Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: 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.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese. Spoon about â…” cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese. Add another tablespoon of grated cheese on top, then sprinkle with chopped green onion for freshness.
- Fold and roll the wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla tightly, then roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling securely, creating a tight wrap.
- Cook the wraps: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down into the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing slightly and covering with a lid to help melt the cheese inside, until the wraps are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the pan, slice each wrap in half, and serve warm. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad, salsa, or raw veggies on the side.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor but you can use any cooked chicken.
- Adjust the hot sauce to your preferred spice level or substitute with sriracha or your favorite chili sauce.
- For a healthier option, choose whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
- You can substitute the cheddar blend cheese with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different melt and flavor.
- Covering with a lid while cooking helps melt the cheese evenly inside the wrap.
- Wraps are best served immediately for the crispiest texture; leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or oven.
