- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Gooey Chicken Wraps
Preparing the Garlic Chicken Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or heat olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant—about 1 minute. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic flavor to infuse the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembling the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of the garlic chicken mixture across the center. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and add chopped herbs if desired. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Cooking the Wraps
Fold the sides of each tortilla tightly over the filling, then roll from the bottom to the top to secure. For best results, use the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast to cook the wraps evenly and achieve a crispy exterior. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Serving the Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Serve immediately with a side of fresh greens or your favorite dipping sauce like sour cream or ranch. For a quick refreshment, use the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to prepare chilled beverages alongside your meal.
4. Tips for Perfect Gooey Chicken Wraps
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the gooeyest cheese pull.
- Wrap tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed to prevent unrolling during cooking.
- If you prefer extra crispiness, grill the wraps on a panini press or stovetop grill for 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the wrap in a microwave for 30-60 seconds or re-crisp in a hot skillet for a crunchy texture. Avoid storing for too long as the cheese may harden and lose its gooey perfection.
