Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 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
- Season the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken strips in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange 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 fully cooked.
- Assemble the Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, layer fresh spinach leaves, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese, and then the cooked chicken strips.
- Prepare for Final Crisp: 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.
- Air Fry the Wraps: Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes until the tortillas become crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm, optionally accompanied by ranch dressing.
Notes
- Ensure chicken strips are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
- Whole wheat tortillas add fiber, but feel free to use your preferred type.
- Ranch dressing is optional; you can substitute with any preferred dipping sauce.
- For extra crispiness, lightly brush wraps with olive oil instead of spray.
