Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps combine tender, seasoned chicken with melted cheese and fresh spinach, all wrapped in a crispy tortilla. They’re quick to make and perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts (Approximately 1 pound total)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing (Optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Step 1: 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 to coat evenly with the seasoning.
2. Step 2: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Step 3: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the chicken strips in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Step 4: Remove the chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, layer fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, and the cooked chicken strips.
5. Step 5: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray. Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
6. Step 6: Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the tortillas are crispy and golden.
7. Step 7: Remove the wraps and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the chicken seasoning.
• Swap spinach for arugula or kale for a different leafy green option.
• Try using different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a twist.
• Make it vegetarian by replacing chicken with seasoned sautéed mushrooms or tofu strips.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 4 minutes to restore crispiness.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

It’s best to use fresh or fully thawed chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. If using frozen, thaw completely before slicing and seasoning.

Can I prepare these wraps without an air fryer?

Yes, you can cook the chicken strips in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, and crisp the wraps in a lightly oiled pan or oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden.

Instructions

1. Prepare the 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 to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Notes

• Ensure chicken strips are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
• You can substitute ranch dressing with any preferred dipping sauce or omit for a lighter option.
• Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation.
• Cook times may vary depending on air fryer brand and size; adjust accordingly.
• Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients; regular tortillas can be used as an alternative.
