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 Ingredients

4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Optional Serving

1/4 cup ranch dressing
Olive oil spray for crisping wraps
Cooking spray for air fryer basket

Instructions

Prepare the 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 thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the right cooking temperature for the chicken.
Cook the Chicken: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 8 minutes total, flipping the strips halfway through to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown crust. Verify that the chicken is cooked through.
Assemble the Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. Lay out each whole wheat tortilla and start layering with fresh spinach leaves, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and then the cooked chicken strips on top.
Roll and Prepare for Crisping: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to create a secure wrap. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to aid in crisping during the next air frying step. Place the wraps seam-side down into the air fryer basket.
Crisp the Wraps: Air fry the wrapped tortillas at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and have turned a golden color.
Serve: Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a minute or two. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.

Notes

Ensure chicken strips are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
Use cooking and olive oil sprays sparingly to avoid sogginess but achieve crispiness.
Ranch dressing is optional and can be substituted with any preferred dipping sauce.
For a spicier option, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
Check chicken internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
