Description

Crispy, cheesy garlic chicken wraps—quick, high‑protein comfort food perfect for lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

  • 2 large tortillas (regular or low‑carb/high‑protein)
  • 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped (about 200 g; rotisserie works great)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (like Frank’s)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 oz grated cheese (cheddar blend, about 90 g)
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix chopped chicken, garlic, mayonnaise, yogurt, hot sauce, and salt.
  2. Lay out the tortilla. On the lower third, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese, then add about ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture, another tablespoon of cheese, and a sprinkle of green onion.
  3. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
  4. Heat a non‑stick pan over medium‑high and spray with olive oil.
  5. Place wraps seam‑side down and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy; cover with a lid to help heat through.
  6. Slice in half and serve hot.

Notes

  • Cover the pan to help melt the cheese and warm the filling faster.
  • You can make the chicken filling ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reduce the cheese for a lighter version, though the melty center really adds magic.
  • Air fryer option: cook at 375 °F (190 °C) for about 6–8 minutes.
  • Store cooked wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or air fryer to retain crispiness.
  • The filling (not wrapped) can be frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Use leftover filling in toasted sandwiches, quesadillas, or baked potatoes.
  • Great served with a big crunchy salad, roasted veggies, pickles, salsa, or chips.
