They’re super easy to make, which means I can whip them up on a busy weeknight or serve them at a casual get-together. Trust me, once you try these, they’ll become a staple in your recipe repertoire!
What’s in Cheesy Garlic Chicken Keto Wraps?
Let’s break down what makes these wraps so fabulous:
Low-carb tortillas: I use almond flour or coconut flour tortillas for a tasty, low-carb base. They hold everything together perfectly without the guilt!
Cooked chicken breast: A must! I always have some cooked chicken on hand, either leftover from another meal or quickly cooked in a pan. It’s a great way to use up that leftover rotisserie chicken!
Shredded cheese: I’m a sucker for either cheddar or mozzarella. They both melt beautifully and add that ooey-gooey texture we crave.
Cream cheese: This is the secret ingredient that brings everything together. So creamy and rich, it elevates the flavor to a whole new level.
Garlic: Because garlic makes everything better! The fragrance alone will get you drooling.
Olive oil: A splash of olive oil is perfect for sautéing the garlic to get that lovely golden color.
Onion powder: I love the depth of flavor it adds without the hassle of chopping onions.
Garlic powder: Confession time: I double up on the garlic because I adore it!
Dried parsley: A hint of freshness goes a long way, and it adds a splash of color too.
Salt and pepper: Just the basics to bring everything to life at the end.
Optional garnish: Chopped green onions or fresh herbs add a beautiful touch and a little extra flavor.
Is Cheesy Garlic Chicken Keto Wraps Good for You?
These wraps are not only delicious but also mindful of your health, especially if you’re on a keto diet.
Chicken breast: It’s a fantastic source of lean protein, helping you stay fuller for longer and keeping your energy levels high.
Cheese: While it’s high in fat and delicious, it’s also packed with calcium and can be a great way to get healthy fats in your diet when consumed in moderation.
Cream cheese: Adds a nice creaminess but keep an eye on portions if you’re tracking your macros!
Low-carb tortillas: They prevent that dreaded carb overload. Almond and coconut flour options give you satisfying wraps without the guilt of traditional tortillas.
Just remember, while these wraps are a delightful choice, moderation is key—especially with the cheese. Balance is everything!

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Keto Wraps?
1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Toss in the diced chicken breast and season with onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with half of the shredded cheese until well combined.
4. Once the chicken mixture is heated, fold it into the cream cheese mixture until everything is evenly combined.
5. Lay one low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon half of the cheesy chicken mixture in the center and sprinkle with half of the remaining shredded cheese.
6. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to create a wrap.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet, pressing gently to seal it. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
8. Remove the wrap from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing it in half.
9. Repeat the process with the second tortilla.
10. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions or your favorite herbs.
Wraps to Remember!
Here are some quick tips to elevate your wrap game:
– Want a spice kick? Add some diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
– Need it dairy-free? Try using whipped avocado instead of cream cheese and a dairy-free cheese alternative.
– Feeling fancy? Serve it with a side salad dressed in balsamic vinaigrette for a great balance.
