2. Ingredients Needed for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños or other favorite toppings

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Preparing the Filling

Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the cooked chicken and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

Making the Cheesy Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Mix until smooth and well combined. This mixture will give your wraps that gooey, cheesy texture.

Assembling the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheesy mixture in the center. Add the cooked garlic chicken on top, and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired. Wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you roll, to ensure all fillings stay inside.

Cooking the Wraps

For extra crispiness, you can bake or pan-fry the wraps. To pan-fry, heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped tortillas seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, for a hands-free approach, use the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 to air fry the wraps for a healthier crunch.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in the microwave or in a skillet until the cheese is gooey and the wrap is crispy again. For longer storage, you can freeze assembled wraps—just reheat thoroughly before serving.

5. Serving Suggestions for the Perfect Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Serve these cheesy garlic chicken wraps hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair them with a light salad, like a crisp chicken salad, or enjoy with a side of roasted vegetables. For a refreshing drink, consider using the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to serve chilled beverages that complement the savory wraps.
