Ingredients
For the Filling:

- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tsp almond flour (to thicken, low-carb)
- 120 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 60 ml light cream or half-and-half (low-fat for WW)

- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 300 g cooked chicken breast, shredded

For the Wraps:
- 4 WW-friendly low-carb tortillas (or high-fiber wraps, 3–5 SmartPoints each)
Instructions
-
Sauté Garlic:
Heat olive oil or spray a medium saucepan with cooking spray. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. -
Thicken the Sauce:
Sprinkle almond flour into the pan and stir for 1 minute to form a light roux. -
Add Milk & Cream:
Slowly whisk in almond milk and light cream. Cook 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. -
Add Cheese & Flavorings:
Stir in shredded cheddar, crumbled turkey bacon, light ranch dressing, green onions, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until smooth and creamy. -
Combine Chicken:
Fold shredded chicken into the sauce, ensuring all pieces are coated. -
Assemble Wraps:
Spoon filling evenly onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. -
Crisp the Wraps:
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and toast 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden. -
Serve:
Slice each wrap in half and serve warm. Extra light ranch is optional for dipping.
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Turkey Bacon: Lower in SmartPoints and fat than regular bacon, without compromising flavor.
- Reduced-Fat Cheddar & Light Ranch: Cuts calories and points while keeping creamy, cheesy richness.
- Almond Flour: Low-carb thickener for the sauce. Coconut flour can be substituted, but use 1 tsp only (absorbs more liquid).
- Tortillas: Use WW-friendly, high-fiber wraps (usually 3–5 SmartPoints each). Avoid regular flour tortillas if tracking points.
Recipe Variations & Serving Suggestions
- Add Veggies: Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers can boost fiber and volume with minimal points.
- Flavor Boost: Sprinkle smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne for extra kick without adding SmartPoints.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Make filling ahead and store in the fridge; assemble and crisp wraps just before eating.
- Serving Idea: Pair with a simple green salad or steamed broccoli for a complete WW-friendly meal.
Storage & Make-Ahead
- Refrigeration: Keep wraps in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side to maintain crispness.
- Freezing: Wrap individually in foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet or oven.
