Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are a quick and satisfying meal that combines tender, seasoned chicken with fresh spinach and melted cheese. Using an air fryer makes the wraps perfectly crispy without the extra oil, making them a healthier and delicious option for lunch or dinner.

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

1. 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 to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning.
2. Step 2: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
3. 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.
4. Step 4: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and the cooked chicken strips.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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

• For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning mix.
• Swap mozzarella for pepper jack or cheddar cheese for a different taste.
• Add sliced avocado or a dollop of sour cream inside the wrap for a creamy texture.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can cook the chicken in a skillet and crisp the wraps in a preheated oven at 400°F until golden.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven at 350°F until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to keep the tortilla from becoming soggy.

Notes

• Cut chicken into thin strips for faster, more even cooking.
• Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
• For a spicier twist, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
• Whole wheat tortillas add extra fiber and nutrients compared to regular flour tortillas.
• Ranch dressing is optional but complements the flavors well; substitute with your favorite dipping sauce if preferred.
• Use a cooking spray with olive oil for a healthier crisping method.
