Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into thin strips
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Olive oil spray
¼ cup ranch dressing (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Season the Chicken:
In a bowl, toss chicken strips with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
2. Air Fry the Chicken:
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray basket lightly with oil. Place seasoned chicken in a single layer and air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
Layer each tortilla with spinach, mozzarella, and cooked chicken.
4. Wrap and Crisp:
Roll tightly and spray outsides lightly with olive oil. Place seam-side down in air fryer.
5. Final Air Fry:
Air fry wraps at 375°F for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
Let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer: Place the wraps in a single layer with space in between for even crisping. Cook in batches if needed.
Use room temp tortillas: Cold tortillas may tear when rolling. Let them sit out for a few minutes or warm briefly in a pan or microwave before assembling.
For extra crispiness: Lightly press the wraps with a spatula when you flip them in the air fryer. It helps seal the edges and improve texture.
Cheese tip: Shred your own mozzarella for best melt and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can affect melting.
Make it a meal: Serve with a side salad, sweet potato fries, or a small bowl of soup for a complete lunch or dinner.
Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free tortillas and make sure your spices and dressing are gluten-free too.
Kid-friendly: Omit the spinach or swap it for a milder green like romaine. Serve with ketchup or honey mustard for picky eaters.
