Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Filling
- 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped (about 200 grams, 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 (such as Frank’s)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wrap Assembly
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
- 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams, cheddar blend used)
- 1 green onion, chopped
Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken with minced garlic, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay out each tortilla flat. On the lower third, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Add approximately â…” cup of the chicken mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle another tablespoon of cheese and a handful of chopped green onion over the filling.
- Fold and Roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then tightly roll it up starting from the bottom edge to enclose the filling securely.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking and add crispness.
- Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down onto the heated pan. Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy. Covering the pan with a lid while cooking helps to evenly heat the inside and melt the cheese.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.
- Adjust garlic and hot sauce quantities according to your taste preference.
- Light mayonnaise and yogurt make the filling creamy without excess fat.
- Covering the pan while cooking helps ensure the cheese melts thoroughly inside the wrap.
- For a lower-carb option, use high-protein or low-carb tortillas.
- Serve with a side salad or fresh veggies for a complete meal.
