2. Ingredients for Cheesy Chicken Wraps
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
3. Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Garlic Chicken Wraps
How to prepare the garlic chicken flavor
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant—about 30 seconds. Stir in cooked chicken, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the garlic is golden and the chicken is heated through. This method enhances the flavor of your garlic chicken wraps and adds a delicious aroma.
How to assemble cheesy chicken wraps
Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or sour cream on each. Add a few spoonfuls of the seasoned chicken, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Drizzle with lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
How to wrap and cook the cheesy garlic chicken wraps
Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go. For extra crispy results, you can toast the wraps in a hot skillet until golden brown and cheese is melted—about 2-3 minutes per side. Alternatively, to make it even easier, you can bake them in the oven or use an air fryer for a crispy finish. Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 makes this step a breeze.
4. Serving Suggestions
Serve your cheesy chicken wrap hot with a side salad, like our summer fruit salad, for a refreshing contrast. For a complete meal, pair it with some creamy mushroom soup or some flavorful potato dishes from our Mexican potatoes section. These wraps also pair well with a cold beverage; consider using the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to prepare your favorite drink.
5. Storage Tips for Leftover Cheesy Chicken Wraps
If you happen to have leftovers, store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them in a skillet or use the microwave until warmed through. For best results, reheat the wraps in an air fryer for a crispy texture.
6. Variations and Customizations
Feel free to customize your garlic chicken wraps with additional ingredients such as sliced jalapeños, sautéed vegetables, or even some spicy sauce for an extra kick. For a healthier twist, swap out the cheese for a lower-fat option or use whole wheat tortillas. Explore different seasonings to make this recipe uniquely yours.
