Ingredients

Wrap and Filling

  • 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
  • 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped (about 200 grams, rotisserie is 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 (like Frank’s)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams, cheddar blend preferred)
  • 1 green onion, chopped

Cooking

  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Mix chicken filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
  2. Lay out wrap: Spread one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Then, spoon approximately ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture over the cheese. Add another tablespoon of cheese on top, followed by a sprinkle of chopped green onion for freshness.
  3. Fold wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla to encase the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, forming a secure wrap to prevent fillings from spilling out during cooking.
  4. Prepare pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the pan with olive oil to ensure the wrap crisps up evenly without sticking.
  5. Cook wraps: Place the rolled wraps seam-side down on the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the wrap is golden brown and crispy. To help heat the filling thoroughly, cover the pan with a lid during cooking.
  6. Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice them in half, and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient and flavorful option for this recipe but feel free to use any cooked chicken you have on hand.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and hot sauce to your taste preference for milder or spicier flavor.
  • Using light mayonnaise and yogurt keeps the filling creamy but lighter and healthier.
  • For an extra crispy wrap, cook a little longer but be careful not to burn.
  • You can substitute the cheddar blend cheese with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
