The image shows four large wraps cut in half and stacked on a wooden board. Each wrap has a soft, slightly toasted light beige flatbread with brown spots on the outside. Inside, there are three visible layers: chunks of golden-brown grilled chicken with a crispy texture, fresh green lettuce leaves mixed with small pieces of red tomato, and a thick white creamy sauce with black pepper specks running through it. The wraps are close together, showing a neat, filled cross-section of the ingredients. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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 3–5 minutes.

Step 3: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange 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, layer fresh spinach leaves, then a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked chicken strips.

Step 5: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap 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 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 added flavor, marinate the chicken strips in a little olive oil and lemon juice before seasoning.

Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a different twist.

Add sliced avocado or tomato inside the wrap for extra freshness.

Use gluten-free tortillas if you prefer a gluten-free version.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

It’s best to use fresh chicken breasts and cut them into strips before cooking. If using frozen chicken, thaw fully before seasoning and air frying to ensure even cooking.

Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

You can assemble the wraps ahead and refrigerate them un-cooked. When ready to eat, air fry them as instructed for a crispy finish. Avoid storing cooked wraps for too long to maintain texture.
