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 Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Optional for Serving
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- Olive oil spray (for outside of wraps)
- Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)
- Prepare the chicken strips: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken strips to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the chicken: Lightly 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 the strips halfway through, until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through.
- Assemble the wraps: Remove the chicken from the air fryer. On each whole wheat tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach leaves, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, and finally add the cooked chicken strips on top.
- Roll and prepare the wraps for crisping: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
- Crisp the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the tortillas become crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the crispy wraps from the air fryer. Let them cool for a minute, then slice each wrap in half. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken strips for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use low-fat mozzarella cheese to reduce fat content.
- Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients; substitute with gluten-free tortillas if needed.
- The wraps can be reheated in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
- Omit ranch dressing or use a dairy-free alternative for a lighter or vegan-friendly option.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
