Low Carb Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These low carb cheesy garlic chicken wraps are a quick and satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights. Crispy on the outside with melty cheese and garlic-infused chicken inside, they deliver big flavor without the carb overload.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (shred from a block for best melting)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 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

1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
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 thoroughly until cream cheese coats everything evenly.
3. Step 3: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to form secure wraps.
4. Step 4: Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and cheese starts to ooze. If browning too fast, reduce heat to medium-low.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat, slice each wrap in half diagonally, and serve immediately while the cheese is still melty.

Tips & Variations

• Use freshly shredded cheese from blocks for better melting and no added starches.
• Warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking during rolling.
• Substitute chicken with leftover turkey or add crumbled bacon for smoky flavor.
• Don’t overfill the wraps—use about 1/2 cup filling per wrap to avoid splitting.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, placing parchment paper between each to prevent sticking. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore the crispy exterior and melty cheese. These wraps can also be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge for a quick protein-packed meal.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese in these wraps?

Yes, feel free to experiment with cheeses like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or gouda depending on your flavor preference. Just be sure to shred them yourself for best melting results.

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

You can try using large lettuce leaves or low-carb flatbreads as a substitute, but low-carb tortillas hold up best for rolling and cooking without tearing.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chicken Filling

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably shredded from a block)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (use 3 cloves for extra garlic flavor)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave out 30 minutes before mixing)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Handful of baby spinach, optional

Wraps & Cooking

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

Instructions

1. Prepare the Skillet and Tortillas: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While the skillet heats, warm your low-carb tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
2. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. If using spinach, mix it in at this stage. Stir thoroughly until the cream cheese coats all ingredients evenly, creating a creamy, garlicky mixture.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about 1/2 cup in the center of each. Don’t overfill to prevent splitting. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you wrap to form secure burrito-like wraps.
4. Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy outside with cheese starting to ooze from edges. If they brown too quickly but cheese hasn’t melted, lower heat to medium-low.
5. Serve: Remove wraps from the skillet, slice each in half diagonally, and serve immediately while the cheese is melty. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

• Do not overfill the wraps or they may split open during cooking.
• Always warm tortillas briefly before filling to avoid cracking.
• Use freshly shredded mozzarella from a block for better melting and no added starches.
• Feel free to substitute chicken with leftover turkey or add crumbled bacon for a smoky twist.
• These wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness.
• Eating the wraps cold from the fridge is a convenient, protein-packed option.
