Ingredients

Wrap and Filling

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

For Cooking

  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Mix chicken filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy filling.
  2. Lay out wrap: Place the tortilla on a clean flat surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly, then add approximately ⅔ cup of the prepared chicken mixture on top. Finish by adding another tablespoon of cheese and a sprinkle of chopped green onion.
  3. Fold wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll it up tightly starting from the bottom edge to secure the filling inside.
  4. Prepare pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly spray the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote a golden crust.
  5. Cook wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down on the skillet to seal them. Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until the tortilla turns crispy and golden brown. Cover the skillet with a lid during cooking to ensure the filling warms thoroughly and the cheese melts nicely.
  6. Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice them in half diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked chicken with leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and hot sauce according to your spice preference.
  • Using a non-stick pan and olive oil spray helps achieve a crispy wrap without excess fat.
  • Covering the pan while cooking helps melt the cheese and heat the filling evenly.
  • For a lower-calorie option, consider using low-fat cheese and light tortillas.
