Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 2 large chicken breasts (Approximately 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wraps and Filling:
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Optional Serving:
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- 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 until evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Cook the Chicken Strips: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through to achieve golden brown and fully cooked chicken.
- Assemble the Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. Lay each whole wheat tortilla flat and layer with fresh spinach leaves, a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and the hot chicken strips.
- Roll and Prepare for Crisping: Tightly roll each tortilla to enclose the fillings. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness during the final cook.
- Crisp the 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: Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, then slice each wrap in half. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken strips are cut uniformly for even cooking.
- Use cooking spray to prevent sticking and to promote crispiness.
- Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and a nutty flavor, but you can substitute with your favorite tortilla type.
- For a spicier kick, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
- Wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
