Why Make This Recipe

Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are a delicious and quick meal option. They are perfect for lunch or dinner and easy to prepare. The combination of seasoned chicken, gooey mozzarella, and fresh spinach wrapped in a tortilla makes each bite satisfying. Plus, using an air fryer keeps the wraps crispy without deep frying, making them a healthier choice.

How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

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.)

Directions

  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 to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  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.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and the cooked chicken strips.
  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.
  6. Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden.
  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.

How to Serve Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

These wraps are best served warm and can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing adds a nice touch, but you can also try BBQ sauce or salsa if you prefer. They make for a fantastic lunch, a quick dinner, or even a snack.

How to Store Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for 2-3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness, or use a conventional oven.

Tips to Make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

  • Make sure to cut the chicken into thin strips for even cooking.

  • Experiment with different cheeses or add other veggies like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
  • For a little kick, add some red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.

Variation

Consider using different proteins, like turkey or tofu, for a vegetarian option. You can also switch up the type of tortillas used, such as spinach or tomato basil for added flavor.

FAQs
