# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.1 lbs), sliced into strips
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - ½ teaspoon salt
07 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
→ Wraps
08 - 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps
09 - 1 cup (3.5 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - ½ cup (1.75 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 1 cup (1.5 oz) fresh baby spinach leaves
12 - ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
13 - 1 medium tomato, diced
→ Garlic Sauce
14 - ¼ cup (2.1 oz) Greek yogurt
15 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
16 - 1 small clove garlic, finely minced
17 - 2 teaspoons lemon juice
18 - Salt and pepper, to taste
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
02 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
04 - Lay out each low-carb tortilla. Sprinkle a quarter of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese in the center of each wrap.
05 - Top the cheese with a quarter of the cooked chicken, spinach, red onion, and diced tomato. Drizzle with garlic sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides and roll up each wrap tightly to enclose the filling.
07 - Place wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side to crisp the tortilla and melt the cheese.
08 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The garlic cheese combination creates that addictive restaurant-style flavor without the heavy carb crash
- You get that warm, melty wrap experience while staying completely on track with your goals
02 -
- Dry the chicken strips with paper towels before seasoning, or the spices will slide right off into the pan instead of sticking to the meat
- Let the wraps rest for 2 minutes after pan-pressing them, otherwise the cheese will ooze out the moment you cut into them
03 -
- Warm your tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave before filling - pliable tortillas mean no cracks or tears while rolling
- Don't overcrowd the pan when pan-pressing the finished wraps or they'll steam instead of getting those crispy golden spots
