Ingredients
Wraps and Filling
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
- 7 oz cooked chicken (about 200 grams, chopped, rotisserie recommended)
- 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 suggested)
- 1 green onion (chopped)
For Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Mix chicken filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken with minced garlic, light mayonnaise, light Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly to blend the flavors well.
- Lay out wrap and add fillings: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Top this with approximately ⅔ cup of the prepared chicken mixture. Add another tablespoon of cheese on top and sprinkle with chopped green onion for freshness.
- Fold wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then carefully roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase all the fillings securely.
- Prepare pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking and add a crisp texture.
- Cook wraps: Place the folded wraps seam-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the pan with a lid during cooking to help heat the inside thoroughly and melt the cheese.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan and slice each in half. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your crispy, cheesy chicken wraps.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor, or any cooked chicken you have on hand.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and hot sauce to match your spice preference.
- Using light mayonnaise and Greek yogurt reduces fat but still keeps the filling creamy.
- Covering the pan while cooking helps melt the cheese and heat the filling evenly.
- Low-carb or high-protein tortillas are great alternatives for different dietary needs.
