Introduction

Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are a quick and delicious way to enjoy a satisfying dinner. Tender seasoned chicken pairs perfectly with melted mozzarella and fresh spinach, all wrapped in a crispy tortilla. Ready in under 30 minutes, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights.

The image shows four halves of wraps placed on a wooden board, each filled with several layers. The outer layer is a light brown, slightly toasted tortilla that has some darker brown spots from cooking. Inside, there is a layer of grilled chicken pieces with a golden brown, crispy texture and white tender meat inside. Mixed with the chicken are fresh green leafy vegetables, adding a bright green color and a crunchy texture. There are also small pieces of red tomato scattered among the greens. A creamy white sauce with visible black specks is generously spread inside, adding smoothness and moisture to the filling. The wraps are arranged closely, showing a cross-section of their colorful and textured fillings on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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)

Instructions

Step 1: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning.
Step 2: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: 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.
Step 4: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, layer fresh spinach, then a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked chicken strips.
Step 5: 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.
Step 6: Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden.
Step 7: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing if desired.

Tips & Variations

Use cooked rotisserie chicken for an even quicker meal.
Add sliced avocado or tomato inside the wraps for extra freshness.
Swap mozzarella for pepper jack cheese to add a spicy kick.
For a gluten-free option, substitute whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
Lightly brush wraps with olive oil instead of spray for a richer flavor, if preferred.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.
