How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts (Approximately 1 pound total.)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup ranch dressing (Optional, for serving.)

Directions:

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and the cooked chicken strips.
Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Spray the outside of each wrap lightly with olive oil spray. Place the wraps in the air fryer basket seam-side down.
Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden.
Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing if desired.

How to Serve Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

These wraps taste great on their own or with a side of ranch dressing for dipping. You can also serve them with a fresh salad for a complete meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and you can even pack them for picnics or road trips.

How to Store Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

If you have any leftovers, let the wraps cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for 2-3 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through and crispy again.

Tips to Make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

Make sure the chicken strips are evenly coated with the seasoning for the best flavor.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer when cooking the chicken and wraps. This helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or onions to the wraps for extra flavor and nutrition.

Variation

You can change the cheese to cheddar or pepper jack for a different taste. You can also use different types of wraps, like spinach or gluten-free tortillas. For added heat, consider adding some sliced jalapeños or hot sauce.
