Ingredients
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 large chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Wrap Components
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Optional
- ¼ cup ranch dressing for serving
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare and Season 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 well to coat evenly with the seasoning.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for approximately 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Chicken Strips: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, layer fresh spinach leaves, then a generous portion of shredded mozzarella cheese, and finally the cooked chicken strips.
- Roll and Prepare for Crisping: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the fillings completely. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to aid in crisping.
- Crisp the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 2 to 3 minutes until the tortillas turn crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste—adding cayenne pepper or Italian herbs can enhance the flavor.
- For a healthier, veggie-packed meal, include extra vegetables like bell peppers or onions inside the wraps.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure the chicken and wraps crisp evenly.
