Ingredients
Wrap and Filling
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
- 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
- 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams, cheddar blend recommended)
- 1 green onion, chopped
For Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Mix chicken filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Lay out wrap: Place your tortilla on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly.
- Add chicken mixture: Spoon approximately ⅔ cup of the prepared chicken mixture over the cheese layer. Then add another tablespoon of cheese on top, and sprinkle with chopped green onion for freshness and flavor.
- Fold wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla to enclose the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the wrap.
- Prepare pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking and to help crisp the wrap.
- Cook wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot pan to seal them. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown. To ensure the filling is heated through and the cheese melts perfectly, cover the pan with a lid during cooking.
- Slice and serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each wrap in half diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor, but you can use any cooked chicken.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and hot sauce to your personal heat preference.
- Light mayonnaise and Greek yogurt keep the filling creamy yet lower in fat.
- Cooking with the wrap seam-side down first helps to keep them sealed during cooking.
- Covering the pan while cooking helps the cheese melt and the filling to warm through evenly.
- For a low-carb option, use low-carb or high-protein tortillas.
