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 Assembly
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (Optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the 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 to coat evenly with the seasoning.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Cook the chicken: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Assemble the wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each whole wheat tortilla, lay down a layer of fresh spinach leaves, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and then add the cooked chicken strips on top.
- Roll and prepare for final cooking: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling completely. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy exterior when air fried.
- Air fry the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes more, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing on the side if desired for extra flavor.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket when cooking chicken strips and wraps.
- You can substitute mozzarella cheese with other shredded cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor.
- For a lighter option, consider using a low-fat ranch dressing or skip it altogether.
- Make sure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- Fresh spinach adds a nice texture and nutrition, but you can swap it for lettuce or kale if preferred.
