Ingredients
  

  • 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
  • 7 oz cooked chicken (about 200 grams, chopped (rotisserie is great))
  • 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 (like Frank’s)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams (I used a cheddar blend))
  • 1 green onion (chopped)
  • Olive oil spray

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Non-stick pan

Method
 

Prepare the Flavorful Chicken Mixture
  1. In a medium bowl, combine your chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, light Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Stir everything together until it is well combined and the chicken is evenly coated.
Assemble the Wraps with Care
  1. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  2. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about two tablespoons of your grated cheddar cheese.
  3. Next, top that with about two-thirds of a cup of the savory chicken mixture.
  4. Finish with another tablespoon of cheese and a sprinkle of chopped green onion.
The Perfect Fold and Roll
  1. Start by folding in the sides of the tortilla over the filling.
  2. Then, starting from the bottom (the side closest to the filling), roll the tortilla up tightly and evenly towards the top.
Pan-Frying for Golden Perfection
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Spray the pan lightly with olive oil spray.
Crispy and Cheesy Finish
  1. Carefully place your rolled wraps, seam-side down, into the hot pan.
  2. Cook for about three to four minutes per side, until they are beautifully crispy and golden brown.
  3. To help the cheese inside melt into a gooey delight, cover the pan with a lid during the cooking process.
Slice and Serve
  1. Once cooked, remove the wraps from the pan.
  2. Slice each wrap in half, showcasing the delicious, cheesy garlicky filling. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tips: Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a super-fast meal. Grate the garlic for a stronger flavor. Do not overfill the wraps to avoid tearing during rolling and cooking. Cover the pan while cooking to help the cheese melt evenly and create that irresistible gooey center. Spray the pan with olive oil for extra crispness. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your personal spice preference. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the chicken mixture for an extra zing.
Storage & Reheating: Store cooked wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat by pan-frying or baking to retain crispness. You can also make the chicken filling ahead of time. Uncooked wraps can be frozen for up to one month; cook directly from frozen, adding extra minutes.
