Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
2–3 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces cream cheese (full-fat)
2 cups fresh spinach, packed
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 large low carb tortillas
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, if using
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant
Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden and nearly cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Transfer to oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until fully cooked
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add more garlic if desired
Once chicken is cooked, let it rest slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces
In each low carb tortilla, layer a portion of chicken, 1/2 cup spinach, and 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese
Warm the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in a pan or microwave until pliable
Wrap tortillas tightly and serve
Notes
You can use shredded rotisserie chicken as a time-saver
For a lighter version, substitute fat-free cream cheese, though full-fat offers better taste and texture
Choose a low carb tortilla brand with under 5g net carbs per tortilla
Serve with a side of salsa or guacamole for added flavor
