Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie)
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp light cream cheese (optional for creamier texture)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley or green onions (optional for freshness)
  • 4 whole wheat or low-carb tortillas
  • Olive oil spray or 1 tsp olive oil (for crisping the wrap)

Instructions

Make the Filling

In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, cream cheese (if using), shredded cheese, and herbs. Stir until well combined.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the tortillas and divide the chicken mixture evenly among them. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito.

Cook the Wraps

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil spray. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

Serve and Enjoy

Slice in half and serve warm with a side of your choice — think fresh salad, yogurt dip, or veggie sticks.
