Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
- 1/2 cup blended cottage cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
- 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, diced jalapeños, blended cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, bacon, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface and spread the chicken mixture in a thin, even layer over each tortilla.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter.
- Place one tortilla chicken-side down in the skillet and press gently with a spatula so the chicken cooks evenly and forms a golden crust.
- Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.
- Flip the wrap and cook the tortilla side for 2 to 3 more minutes, until crisp and golden.
- For an extra crispy cheese crust, sprinkle a little shredded cheese directly into the skillet before adding the tortilla side down.
- Remove from the pan, rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth for the creamiest texture.
- Seed the jalapeños for a milder wrap or leave some seeds in for more heat.
- Spread the chicken mixture thinly so it cooks quickly and evenly.
- A cast iron skillet gives the best golden crust and crisp tortilla.
- These wraps are delicious with ranch, sour cream, or extra jalapeños on the side.
