Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 large chicken breasts (Approximately 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wrap Filling
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
For Serving (Optional)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray for air fryer basket and outside of wraps
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 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 in the basket. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Assemble Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. Place each whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface. Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese and the cooked chicken strips.
- Roll the Wraps: Tightly roll each tortilla to enclose the filling. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray for a crispy finish.
- Crisp the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing if desired.
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.
