✅ Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded

  • ½ cup light cream cheese (softened)

  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or light sour cream)

  • 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (or part-skim mozzarella)

  • ½ cup diced green onions (or red bell pepper for sweetness)

  • 2 tbsp salsa or hot sauce (optional, for kick)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

  • 4 large low-carb or low-point tortillas (Mission Carb Balance or Ole Xtreme Wellness are popular WW-friendly choices)

📖 Instructions

  1. Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded chicken, shredded cheese, green onions, salsa, and seasonings until well combined.

  2. Assemble wraps: Spread an even layer of filling over each tortilla, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.

  3. Roll tightly: Starting at one end, roll each tortilla up as tightly as possible.

  4. Chill: Wrap rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (helps them firm up for clean slicing).

  5. Slice & serve: Cut each roll into 6 pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and garnish with extra salsa, green onions, or cilantro if desired.
