Ingredients
Servings: 4 wraps

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 handful baby spinach (optional)
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Skillet or grill pan
- Spatula
- Sharp knife
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Skillet and Wraps
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10–15 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
2. Mix the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Add spinach if using. Mix until the cream cheese evenly coats all ingredients.
3. Assemble the Wraps
- Divide the mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing about ½ cup in the center of each.
- Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form secure wraps.
4. Cook the Wraps
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side without moving, until the wraps are golden brown and cheese melts slightly.
5. Serve
- Remove from skillet and slice each wrap in half diagonally.
- Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve hot.
Tips for Perfect Wraps
- Avoid Overfilling: Too much filling may cause wraps to split.
- Toast the Tortillas: Warming prevents cracking and makes rolling easier.
- Cheese Variations: Mozzarella is classic, but you can mix in Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Swiss for different flavors.
- Add Protein: Swap chicken for leftover turkey or add crumbled bacon for extra smoky flavor.
- Optional Veggies: Spinach, roasted peppers, or sautéed mushrooms add color and nutrition.
