Ingredients Youโ€™ll Need

Hereโ€™s what I use for my chicken fajita burritos, but you can easily swap ingredients based on your preferences:

For the Burrito Base

  • 0 Net Carb Tortillas (60 calories per wrap) Buy on Amazon or find them at Walmart or Kroger
  • Pre-cooked chicken (rotisserie, seasoned chicken breast from Walmart, or even Costco steak strips)
  • Sautรฉed fajita veggies (optional but recommended: bell peppers and onions)

Dairy-Free & Egg-Free Version

  • Toom Garlic Spread (found at Target, Costco, or online)
  • Plant-Based Cheese โ€“ I used Simple Truth brand from Kroger, but Daiya or VioLife work great too

Regular Low-Carb Version

  • Shredded cheese of choice (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend)
  • Sour cream or mayo in place of the garlic spread

My Secret Weapon: The FlipWrap Tool

This recipe became so much easier (and more fun) when I discovered the FlipWrap Tool. Itโ€™s a game-changer for making burritos, hot pockets, and even freezer wraps.

Why I Love It:

  • Comes with two sizes (I use the smaller one for this recipe)
  • Helps cut the tortilla perfectly for folding
  • Leftover cuts make perfect chips (more on that below!)
  • Makes clean, sealed edges every time

Here is a video showing how to use it, but the basic idea is this: place the tool in the center of your tortilla, use the included cutting edge to trim the wrap into a foldable quadrant, fill each section, and fold over neatly. Done!

Estimated Total (using 90 cal cheese):
Calories: ~372
Net Carbs: ~3โ€“4g
Protein: ~25g
Fat: ~22g

Notes:

  • Dairy-based cheese would raise protein slightly (around 6โ€“7g per serving) and fat by about 1โ€“2g.
  • If youโ€™re using egg-free and dairy-free cheese, macros can vary slightly by brand. I used Krogerโ€™s Simple Truth Plant-Based Shreds in this estimate.
  • Garlic dip and cheese are the biggest fat contributors; if you want to reduce fat, cut back to 1 tbsp garlic spread or go cheese-free.

How to Make the Burritos

Total Time: 15 Minutes | Servings: 4 Burritos

Step 1: Heat the Chicken

Use pre-cooked chicken to save time. My go-to options are:

  • Rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • Walmart seasoned grilled chicken breasts
  • Costcoโ€™s pre-cooked steak strips

Reheating Tips:

  • Air Fryer (Reheat Setting): 350ยฐF for 10 minutes
  • No Reheat Setting: 390ยฐF for 5 minutes
  • Toaster Oven: 350ยฐF for 10 minutes

I love using the air fryerโ€”it crisps the meat beautifully without drying it out.


Step 2: Prep the Tortillas with the FlipWrap Tool

  • Lay your tortilla flat and use the FlipWrap tool to score and cut the fold lines
  • Stuff all of your ingredients in the pocket, using the provided tool
  • Fold over one section at a time like a wrap puzzle

Step 3: Seal and Sear

There are two ways to seal your burrito:

Option 1: Avocado Oil Only

  • Great for more structured fillings (like this fajita version)
  • Lightly brush avocado oil on the outside
  • Pan-fry seam-side down until golden and sealed

Option 2: Cheese as Glue

  • Best for loose fillings (like scrambled eggs)
  • Add cheese along the seams
  • Pan-fry until the cheese melts and crisps, sealing the edges
chicken burrito seal sides

Step 4: Serve or Freeze

You can eat them fresh off the skillet, or wrap them in parchment paper and freeze them for later.

To reheat from frozen:

  • Air Fryer: 350ยฐF for 10 minutes
  • Toaster Oven: 350ยฐF for 12โ€“14 minutes No soggy burritos here!

Leftover Tortilla Hack: Homemade Chips!

After using the FlipWrap tool, youโ€™ll have leftover triangle-shaped tortilla pieces. Donโ€™t toss them! Instead:

  1. Heat avocado oil in a skillet
  2. Fry each triangle until golden and crisp
  3. Sprinkle with salt, smoked paprika, or taco seasoning

Serve with salsa, guac, or even more Toom garlic dip. These make the perfect snack or side to your burrito bowl.


Customization Ideas

One of the best parts of this recipe is how flexible it is! Hereโ€™s how I personalize it for my family:

  • Toddler Version: Plain chicken, avocado, a bit of vegan cheeseโ€”simple and mild
  • My Husband: Extra meat, fajita veggies, jalapeรฑos, cheese, and sour cream
  • My Version: I skip the wrap and throw the tortilla chips into a bowl with chicken, peppers, and garlic dip!

Want to turn these into lunch wraps? No need to pan-fryโ€”just wrap and go.


Freezer-Friendly Meal Prep

I usually make a batch of 4โ€“6 at a time. After assembling and lightly searing, I let them cool, wrap them in parchment, and store in a freezer bag.

You can label them by filling type and pull them out for:

  • Quick lunches
  • Busy weeknight dinners
  • Road trip snacks
  • Low-carb postpartum meals (yes, I lived off these for a while!)

Spice It Up

Want to take it up a notch? Try these burrito upgrades:

  • Add pickled jalapeรฑos or chipotle peppers for heat
  • Swap chicken for chorizo or seasoned tofu
  • Top with shredded lettuce and my homemade ranchero sauce
  • Mix in cauliflower rice for added bulk
  • Add fresh cilantro and lime juice before folding
