Ingredients
Wraps and Filling
- 2 large tortillas (regular or low-carb/high-protein)
- 7 oz cooked chicken, chopped (about 200 grams, rotisserie chicken works 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 (such as Frank’s)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 oz grated cheese (about 90 grams, cheddar blend recommended)
- 1 green onion, chopped
For Cooking
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Mix chicken filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, minced garlic, light mayonnaise, light Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
- Lay out wrap: Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On the lower third of the tortilla, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Then, add approximately ⅔ cup of the prepared chicken mixture on top of the cheese. Add another tablespoon of cheese and sprinkle with chopped green onion for extra flavor.
- Fold wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla gently, then roll it up tightly starting from the bottom to secure all the filling inside.
- Prepare pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote browning.
- Cook wraps: Place the rolled wraps seam-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing slightly, until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown. Cover the pan with a lid during cooking to ensure the wraps heat through evenly.
- Slice and serve: Once cooked, remove the wraps from the pan and slice them in half diagonally. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

- Using a rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
- Adjust garlic and hot sauce quantities to match your heat preference.
