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.
