Ingredients

Scale

Chicken 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 Ingredients

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • Olive oil spray (for outside of wraps)

Optional Serving

  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the 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 thoroughly to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through, until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas. On each tortilla, arrange a layer of fresh spinach leaves, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, and then add the cooked chicken strips.
  5. Roll the Wraps: Tightly roll each tortilla to enclose all the fillings securely. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to help crisp the surface during the final air frying.
  6. Crisp the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy, golden, and the cheese starts to melt inside.
  7. Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly to set. Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal and serve warm, with ranch dressing on the side if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute the whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the chicken seasoning.
  • For added crunch, include thinly sliced bell peppers or onions inside the wraps.
  • Use low-fat mozzarella cheese to reduce calories while maintaining flavor.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking chicken for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Letting the wraps cool slightly before cutting prevents cheese from oozing out.
  • Ranch dressing is optional and can be replaced with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or honey mustard.
