Ingredients
Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
Chicken Filling
- 7 oz cooked chicken (about 200 grams, chopped; rotisserie chicken works great)
- 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 (like Frank’s)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Toppings and Cooking
- 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams, cheddar blend recommended)
- 1 green onion (chopped)
- Olive oil spray for cooking
Instructions
- Mix chicken filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, light Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix everything well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Lay out the wrap: Place a tortilla flat on your workspace. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly. Then, spoon approximately two-thirds of a cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese, spreading it out. Add another tablespoon of cheese on top of the chicken, and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
- Fold the wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla to encase the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom edge, ensuring it is securely wrapped.
- Prepare the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the pan with olive oil to prevent sticking and for a golden crisp exterior.
- Cook the wrap: Place the rolled wrap seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted inside. Press gently with a spatula to help seal the wrap and enhance the crispiness.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from the pan, let it sit for a minute to cool slightly, then slice in half if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken with turkey or tofu for a variation.
- Adjust garlic and hot sauce quantities based on your spice preference.
- Using a non-stick pan and olive oil spray helps achieve even browning without excess fat.
- For a lower-carb option, choose low-carb or high-protein tortillas.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
