Air-Fryer Chicken Wraps
Tender chicken strips cooked in an air fryer, wrapped in warm tortillas with melted cheese and fresh veggies. A quick, versatile meal perfect for lunch, dinner, or a satisfying snack.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 skillet or microwave to warm tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika or a mix of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 to 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or favorite
- Optional fillings: lettuce tomato slices, avocado, shredded cabbage, or sauce (mayonnaise, ranch, yogurt-based, or hot sauce)
- Optional: oil or cooking spray for crisping
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces and toss with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the basket.
- Cook the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
- If desired, spread your preferred sauce onto each tortilla. Layer with cooked chicken, shredded cheese, and any optional vegetables.
- For a crisp wrap, lightly brush or spray the outside with oil and air fry at 375–400°F (190–200°C) for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla crisps.
- Carefully remove the wraps, slice if desired, and serve warm with a side salad, fries, or dipping sauce.
Notes
- Add chili powder or cayenne for extra heat.
- Include bell peppers or roasted veggies for more flavor and nutrition.
- Try different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for variation.
- Cook chicken ahead for quick weekday meals.
