How to Make Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 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:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If the chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half horizontally for even cooking.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Lay the tortillas flat and divide the sliced chicken among them. Add 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and some spinach leaves to each wrap.
- Fold the bottom of each tortilla up, then fold in the sides and roll tightly.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.
How to Serve Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps
Serve the wraps warm, straight from the air fryer. They are great on their own or served with a side of ranch dressing for dipping. You can also pair them with a fresh salad or some crunchy veggie sticks for a complete meal.
How to Store Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps
If you have leftovers, let the wraps cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture.
Tips to Make Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps
- Make sure to season the chicken well for maximum flavor.
