Ingredients
Wraps
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
Filling
- 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Frank’s)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 oz cheddar cheese, grated
- 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 a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese along the lower third of the tortilla. Spoon approximately ⅔ cup of the prepared chicken mixture over the cheese. Add another tablespoon of cheese on top of the filling and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
- Fold and roll the tortilla: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose all the ingredients securely.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray to prevent sticking and promote crispiness.
- Cook the wraps: Place the assembled wraps seam-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the underside is golden and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the pan with a lid during cooking to warm the filling thoroughly and melt the cheese inside.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half if desired, and serve hot for a delicious, melty, and crispy meal.
Notes
- You can use either regular or low-carb/high-protein tortillas depending on your dietary preference.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of hot sauce or omit it entirely.
- For a richer flavor, substitute light mayonnaise and yogurt with full-fat versions.
- Adding additional vegetables like bell peppers or spinach inside the wrap can boost nutrition and texture.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure the cheese melts without burning the tortilla.
- Serve with a side salad or salsa for a complete meal.
