Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts approximately 1 pound total, cut into strips
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing optional, for serving
  • Nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • mixing bowl
  • Cooking spray
  • Tongs
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. Cut chicken breasts into thin strips for quick even cooking. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 3 to 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  4. Place seasoned chicken strips in a single layer in the basket, ensuring each piece gets direct air flow. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through with internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Remove cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach leaves, add shredded mozzarella cheese, and place cooked chicken strips on top.
  6. Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling, folding the edges in first. Spray the outside of each wrap lightly with olive oil spray.
  7. Place the wraps in the air fryer basket seam-side down. Air fry at 375°F for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy and golden and cheese is melted.
  8. Remove wraps from air fryer and let cool slightly for 1 minute. Slice each wrap in half on diagonal and serve with ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

Turkey strips can substitute for chicken but cook faster, so reduce time by 1 to 2 minutes. Gluten-free tortillas work well with sturdy varieties. Plant-based mozzarella can be used for dairy-free option. Ensure chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F for food safety. Don't overcrowd the basket when cooking chicken. Let wraps rest 1 minute before cutting to prevent cheese from spilling out.
