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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
