INGREDIENTS NOTES:
SHREDDED CHICKEN:
- We can use the leftover cooked to prepare this recipe quickly. We can also cook fresh chicken thighs or breasts, shred them, and use them as the base.
CHEESE:
- We can try cheddar or a combination of cheeses for a strong flavor, although mozzarella offers a mild, melty texture. We have to use full-fat cheese for the greatest flavor and texture.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese aids in the smooth melting of the cheese and gives the chicken filling a rich, creamy texture. You can use nut base, or coconut cream cheese as a substitute of cream cheese to make it dairy-free.
KETO TORTILLAS:
- We can use the keto tortillas which are made with the almond or coconut flour. The chicken combination keeps well in these wraps. We can also use the large lettuce leaves as a substitute of tortillas, such as butter lettuce or romaine to make these wraps even lower in carbs.
GARLIC:
- I make this dish with fresh garlic to have a great taste. You can use ½ tsp. Garlic powder if you don’t have fresh pieces of garlic.
