Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 large chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Additional
- Cooking spray (for air fryer basket and olive oil spray for wraps)
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare 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 to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Chicken: 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 (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Assemble Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, lay a layer of fresh spinach leaves, then a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and finally the cooked chicken strips.
- Prepare Wraps for Air Frying: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Spray the outside of each wrap lightly with olive oil spray to help crisp the exterior.
- Air Fry 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 the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free options if needed.
- Feel free to add other veggies like sliced bell peppers or tomatoes inside the wraps for extra nutrition.
- For a spicier version, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
- Ranch dressing is optional; you can also serve with marinara or a light vinaigrette.
- Ensure the chicken strips are cut evenly for uniform cooking times.
