Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious, satisfying meal perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Packed with creamy cheese, savory garlic, and tender chicken, they offer a flavorful low-carb alternative to traditional wraps.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from a block for best melting)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if you love garlic)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out for 30 minutes before mixing)
• 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 (adds nutrition without changing flavor)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While the skillet heats, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10–15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
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 well until the cream cheese evenly coats everything. Use a fork to break up the cream cheese first if needed.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides like a burrito.
4. Step 4: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, with cheese starting to ooze. Lower the heat if the wraps brown too fast before the cheese melts. Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For extra garlic flavor, add an additional clove or use roasted garlic for a milder taste.
• Swap mozzarella for pepper jack cheese to add a spicy kick.
• Use fresh herbs like basil or cilantro instead of parsley for a different flavor profile.
• Include diced bell peppers or mushrooms in the filling for added crunch and nutrition.
• Make ahead by assembling wraps and refrigerating, then cook just before serving to keep them fresh.

Storage

Store leftover wraps wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through and cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving directly to keep the wraps crispy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese?

Yes, you can substitute mozzarella and cheddar with your favorite melting cheeses like Monterey Jack, provolone, or pepper jack. Just keep similar quantities to maintain creaminess and flavor balance.

Are these wraps freezer-friendly?

While you can freeze the assembled wraps before cooking, their texture is best when fresh. If freezing, wrap tightly and cook from frozen in a skillet over low heat, allowing extra time to warm through evenly.

Chicken Mixture

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly here)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from a block)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (add an extra clove if desired)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out for 30 minutes before mixing)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Handful of baby spinach, optional

Additional Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (such as Mission Carb Balance)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While heating, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
2. Make the Chicken Mixture: 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 the cream cheese coats all ingredients evenly. Use a fork to break up cream cheese if needed for easier mixing.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Avoid overfilling. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, similar to wrapping a burrito.
4. Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook without moving them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown and crispy. The cheese should start to ooze slightly from the edges. If wraps brown too quickly before melting the cheese, reduce heat to medium-low.
5. Serve: Remove wraps from heat, slice each diagonally in half, and serve immediately while cheese is melty and warm.

Notes

• Use low-carb tortillas for the best nutritional profile, such as Mission Carb Balance.
• Shredding mozzarella from a block lets it melt better than pre-shredded cheese.
• Let cream cheese soften before mixing to ensure a smooth creamy texture.
• If you love garlic, add an extra clove for stronger flavor.
• Optional spinach boosts nutrition without affecting flavor.
• Don’t overfill wraps to prevent splitting during cooking.
• Cook wraps seam-side down first to seal and keep filling inside.
