Ingredients
-
2 large chicken breasts (about 1 lb 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, for serving)
Instructions
-
Season the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated. -
Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes. -
Cook the Chicken
Lightly spray the air fryer basket. Arrange chicken strips in a single layer and cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and fully cooked. -
Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas. Add spinach, shredded mozzarella, and cooked chicken evenly across each tortilla. -
Wrap & Crisp
Roll tortillas tightly. Lightly spray the outside with olive oil spray and place seam-side down in the air fryer basket. -
Final Air Fry
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes, until tortillas are crispy and golden. -
Serve
Let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve with ranch dressing if desired.
Notes
-
Extra heat: Add cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the chicken seasoning.
-
Veggie boost: Include bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes for extra crunch and nutrition.
-
Cheese swap: Try provolone or part-skim mozzarella for a lighter option.
-
Even crisping: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
