Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 2 large tortillas, regular or low-carb/high-protein
Filling
- 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped (about 200 grams, rotisserie recommended)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
- 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
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, light Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese, then layer approximately ⅔ cup of the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese. Add another tablespoon of grated cheese and sprinkle the chopped green onion on top.
- Wrap the tortilla: Fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then tightly roll the wrap starting from the bottom edge to enclose the filling securely.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down on the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown. Cover the pan with a lid during cooking to ensure the filling heats thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half diagonally, and serve while warm.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken provides great flavor but you can use any cooked chicken.
- Adjust the hot sauce to your preferred spice level or omit for mild flavor.
- Use any cheese you like, though cheddar or a cheddar blend melts well.
- If preferred, grill the wraps on a sandwich press or panini maker to achieve a similar crispiness.
- For lower calories, use low-fat cheese and light mayonnaise and yogurt.
