Introduction

These Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are a quick and delicious meal perfect for busy weeknights. With tender, seasoned chicken and melted cheese wrapped in a crispy tortilla, they’re sure to satisfy the whole family.

Four pieces of wraps are cut in half and stacked together on a wooden board. Each wrap has three main layers visible from cross-section: the outer layer is a lightly toasted off-white flatbread with brown spots; inside, there is a thick layer of grilled chicken pieces with a browned outer crust and white interior, a layer of white creamy sauce with a smooth texture, and a layer of green lettuce mixed with small bits of red tomatoes adding fresh color. The wraps are tightly rolled and the textures of the meat, sauce, and vegetables contrast clearly. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound total)
1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper
4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
¼ cup ranch dressing (optional, for serving)

Instructions

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 and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning.
Step 2: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
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.

Step 4: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach, then a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked chicken strips.
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.
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.

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 a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning mix.
Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.

Use spinach or swap with kale or arugula for varied greens.
If you don’t have olive oil spray, lightly brush the wraps with olive oil before air frying.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the wraps crispy.

How to Serve

Inside, there are several layers: grilled, golden-brown chicken pieces, fresh green spinach leaves, chunks of red tomatoes, and white creamy sauce spread unevenly. The wraps are cut to show the colorful filling inside, with the chicken and sauce being the most prominent. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

It’s best to use fresh or fully thawed chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. Frozen chicken may result in uneven cooking or longer air frying time.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can prepare and assemble the wraps in advance and refrigerate them. Air fry them just before serving to keep the tortillas crispy and the filling warm.
