Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (optional)
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken strips and toss thoroughly until evenly coated in the seasoning.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and lay out each whole wheat tortilla. Place a layer of fresh spinach leaves, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese followed by the cooked chicken strips.
- Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Spray the outside of each wrap lightly with olive oil spray.
- Place the wraps seam-side down into the air fryer basket. Air fry the wrapped tortillas at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown on the outside.
- Remove the wraps from the air fryer, let cool slightly for ease of handling, slice each wrap in half, and serve with ranch dressing if desired.
Notes
- Adjust seasonings to taste; adding cayenne pepper or Italian herbs can enhance flavor.
- Include additional vegetables like bell peppers or onions for a healthier, more colorful wrap.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure all chicken strips and wraps cook evenly and get crispy.
