Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Filling
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
- 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped (about 200 grams; rotisserie 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
Cheese and Garnish
- 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams; cheddar blend recommended)
- 1 green onion, chopped
Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Mix chicken filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken and develop the flavorful filling.
- Lay out wrap: Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly. Then, spoon approximately ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese layer. Add another tablespoon of cheese on top followed by a sprinkle of chopped green onion for freshness.
- Fold wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla to enclose the filling. Then tightly roll the tortilla upwards from the bottom edge to form a secure wrap, ensuring the filling stays contained.
- Prepare pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray the pan lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking and promote crispness.
- Cook wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down on the heated pan to seal and crisp the wrap. Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Cover the pan with a lid to help warm the filling through and melt the cheese inside.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half diagonally to showcase the melty interior, and serve hot for a deliciously satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Low-carb or high-protein tortillas work well for a healthier option.
- Covering the pan while cooking helps melt the cheese and warm the filling evenly.
- Serve with a side salad or fresh veggies for a balanced meal.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crispness.
