Description

These Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps offer a quick, easy, and delicious dinner solution. Juicy, seasoned chicken strips are air fried to perfection, then wrapped with fresh spinach and melted mozzarella in whole wheat tortillas. Finished with a crisp air fryer crunch and served with optional ranch dressing, these wraps combine great texture and flavor with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts (Approximately 1 pound total)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Wraps

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (Optional, for serving)
  • Olive oil spray (for coating the wraps)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: 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 thoroughly to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the chicken strips: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through to achieve golden brown edges and ensure they are thoroughly cooked.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. Lay out each whole wheat tortilla and place a layer of fresh spinach leaves, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, then top with the cooked chicken strips.
  5. Roll and prepare for crisping: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling completely. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy exterior during the final air frying.
  6. Air fry the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 2 to 3 minutes or until the tortillas turn crispy and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to cut the chicken strips uniformly for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking chicken to allow proper air circulation.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrition.
  • Ranch dressing is optional and can be substituted with other dips like marinara or honey mustard.
  • For extra crispiness, you can spray the wraps with a little more olive oil before the final air frying step.
