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
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- Olive oil spray (for brushing wraps)
- Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)
Optional Serving
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (Optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare and Season 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 well to coat them evenly with the seasoning.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure it’s ready for cooking.
- Cook Chicken: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Cook the chicken for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble Wraps: Remove cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each whole wheat tortilla, layer fresh spinach leaves, a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and the cooked chicken strips.
- Roll Wraps and Prepare for Second Air Fry: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling completely. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
- Air Fry the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy and golden.
- Serve: Remove the wraps carefully from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm, optionally with ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure chicken strips are sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
- Use cooking spray in the air fryer to prevent sticking and promote crispiness.
- Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and a nutty flavor but you can use regular tortillas if preferred.
- For a spicier version, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Wraps can be customized with additional vegetables like bell peppers or tomatoes.
- Let wraps cool slightly before slicing to avoid cheese spilling out.
