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

Wrap Filling

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

To Serve (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken strips: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss them well to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Preheat air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the chicken: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. Lay out each whole wheat tortilla and layer fresh spinach leaves first, then a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked chicken strips.
  5. Roll and prepare for crisping: Roll the tortillas tightly to seal the filling inside. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to promote crispiness during air frying. Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
  6. Air fry for crispiness: Cook the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes or until the tortillas turn crispy and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer, allow them to cool slightly, then slice each in half. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken strips with a splash of lemon juice or your favorite herbs before seasoning.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat option, substitute the mozzarella with a low-fat cheese variant.
  • Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking.
  • Ranch dressing is optional; feel free to serve with salsa or a spicy mayo for different flavor profiles.
