Ingredients
Scale
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 filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, light Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese along the lower third of the tortilla. Spoon about ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese, followed by another tablespoon of cheese and a sprinkle of chopped green onion.
- Fold and roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla to encase the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom towards the top, forming a compact wrap.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking and help crisp the tortilla.
- Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan to seal them. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Cover the pan with a lid while cooking to ensure the filling warms through and the cheese melts.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half diagonally, and serve hot for maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from leftover rotisserie chicken or quickly poached chicken breasts for convenience.
- Adjust hot sauce quantity to your preferred level of spiciness.
- Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- These wraps are best enjoyed immediately to maintain crispiness but can be reheated in a pan for a few minutes.
- For a lower-carb option, choose low-carb or high-protein tortillas.
