2. Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 4 large flour tortillas
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
• Additional toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado (optional)

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Prepare the Chicken

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Make the Garlic and Cheese Mixture

In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and shredded mozzarella. Mix well until smooth and creamy. This cheesy garlic mixture will give your wraps their irresistible gooey texture.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheesy garlic mixture over the center. Place sliced chicken on top of the cheese mixture. Add optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, or avocado if desired.

Wrap and Cook

Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. For extra crispy wraps, you can toast them in a pan or grill, or heat them in a sandwich press until the outside is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.

4. Storage Tips for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave the wraps for 30-60 seconds or warm them up in a skillet until heated through. Note that the wrap may lose some of its crispiness upon refrigeration.

5. Serving Suggestions to Elevate Your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Serve these wraps with a side of fresh tropical salsa or a light mixed greens salad. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Pair them with a refreshing beverage like a cold Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to stay cool and hydrated.

6. Variations to Customize Your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Use different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for varied flavor profiles.
• Add cooked bacon or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Replace chicken with grilled shrimp or tofu for alternative protein options.
• Swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free options for dietary preferences.

7. Tips to Make the Perfect Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before slicing to prevent dryness.
• Warm the tortillas slightly to make rolling easier.
• Use shredded cheese for meltiness, and soften the cream cheese for easy mixing.
• If you like extra crispiness, grill the wraps for a few minutes on each side.
