2. Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess)

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomatoes and cucumbers (optional for added freshness)
• Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

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

Prepare the Chicken

Start by trimming and slicing the chicken into thin strips. In a bowl, toss the chicken with minced garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes to infuse more flavor.

Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Garlic Cheese Filling

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with a little minced garlic and shredded cheese. Stir until well combined. This creates a creamy, cheesy garlic spread that adds richness to your wraps.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheesy garlic mixture over the tortilla. Place a few lettuce leaves in the center, followed by the cooked chicken strips. Add sliced tomatoes or cucumbers if desired, then sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro for freshness.

Roll the Wraps

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and tightly roll from one end to the other, creating a neat wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Optional: Toast or Grill the Wraps

For an extra crispy crust and melted cheese, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted inside.

If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, reheat in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness. The Compact 6-in-1 Digital Air Fryer is perfect for quickly reheating these wraps while keeping them crispy.
