Ingredients
For the Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar (optional for extra cheesiness)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
For the Wraps
- 4 low-carb tortillas or protein wraps
- 2 tablespoons butter (for pan-toasting)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the Cheeses: Add cream cheese and stir until melted and fully incorporated. Add mozzarella (and cheddar if using). Mix until the filling is creamy and cheesy. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the cheesy chicken mixture evenly onto the center of each low-carb wrap. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Toast the Wraps: Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and toast until golden and crispy, flipping once. If desired, sprinkle garlic powder over the tops while toasting.
- Serve: Slice in half and enjoy warm!

Correction / Variations
