Introduction

These low carb cheesy garlic chicken wraps are a weeknight hero, delivering crispy, melty comfort without the carb overload. Loaded with tender chicken, savory garlic, and a gooey cheese blend, they come together quickly for a satisfying meal any day of the week.

Two grilled wraps stacked on a white plate, each wrap showing a golden-brown toasted tortilla with dark grill marks. Inside, the first wrap is open to reveal three layers: the bottom layer is white melted cheese with chopped green herbs mixed in, the middle layer contains cooked chicken pieces seasoned with spices, and the top layer is creamy white sauce with green herbs, slightly dripping out. The second wrap underneath is closed and has a smooth, evenly toasted tortilla texture. The background is a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from a block)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced (add extra if you love garlic)

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
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)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese coats everything evenly, breaking up any lumps.

Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing about ½ cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side without moving to get golden brown, crispy edges and oozing cheese. If browning too fast, lower heat to medium-low.
Step 5: Remove from heat, slice each wrap diagonally in half, and serve immediately while the cheese is melty and warm.

Tips & Variations

Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and time savings.
Warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking.
Try swapping chicken for leftover turkey or adding crumbled bacon for smoky flavor.

Shred your own cheese from blocks for better melting and no added starch.
If wraps brown too quickly but cheese isn’t melted, reduce heat to medium-low.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Place parchment paper between each wrap to prevent sticking. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes for a crispy exterior and melty cheese. These wraps can also be enjoyed cold for a quick protein-packed snack.

How to Serve

Two folded tortillas with a golden-brown toasted surface sit on a white plate on a white marbled background. The tortillas are filled with three layers: the outer layer is a soft, lightly toasted tortilla; inside, chunks of well-seasoned grilled chicken with a slightly charred, reddish-brown texture; and oozing out from the center is a creamy white melted cheese sauce dotted with chopped green herbs. The filling looks rich and moist, with cheese slowly dripping over the chicken. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese?

Yes, mozzarella and cheddar offer great melt and flavor, but you can experiment with Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or gouda. Just choose cheeses that melt well and avoid processed slices with additives.

What if I don’t have low-carb tortillas?

You can use regular tortillas but be aware this will increase the carb content. Alternatively, large lettuce leaves make a fresh, low-carb wrap option, though texture and crispiness will differ.
