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 Components

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

Optional

1/4 cup ranch dressing (for serving)
Olive oil spray or cooking spray (for air fryer basket and wraps)

Instructions

Prepare and Season Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning.
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
Cook Chicken in Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through cooking so they brown and cook evenly. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through.
Assemble Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken strips from the air fryer. Lay out each tortilla and add a layer of fresh spinach leaves, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and then top with the cooked chicken strips.
Roll and Prepare Wraps for Second Air Fry: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to help crisp the tortillas during cooking. Place the wraps seam-side down back into the air fryer basket.
Crisp the Wraps: Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tortillas become crispy and golden brown.
Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half for easier eating and serve with ranch dressing on the side if desired.

Notes

Ensure chicken strips are cut uniformly for even cooking.
Customize the seasoning blend to your taste by adding cayenne pepper for spice or Italian herbs for extra flavor.
If you don’t have olive oil spray, lightly brush the wraps with oil before air frying.
For a gluten-free option, substitute whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
To keep the wraps warm before serving, tent them with foil.
