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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
