Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh or shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 medium-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Fillings

  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces for quick cooking and easy layering inside the wrap. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil to help the spices stick and add moisture.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the cooked chicken strips and mozzarella cheese along the center. Add any optional fillings like spinach or roasted red peppers if desired. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling without bursting.
  4. Crisp the Wraps in the Air Fryer: Lightly brush or spray each assembled wrap with olive oil to promote browning. Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket without overcrowding and cook at 370°F (188°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden, crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.

Notes

  • Even slicing: Cut chicken strips uniformly for consistent cooking.
  • Don’t overfill: Keep the filling moderate to prevent the wrap from falling apart.
  • Preheat air fryer: Ensure the air fryer is hot before cooking for the best crispiness.
  • Oil lightly: Use just enough oil on the wraps to get a golden-brown exterior without greasiness.
  • Rest briefly: Let wraps cool for a minute before eating to allow cheese to set slightly, reducing messy ooze.
