Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts (Approximately 1 pound total)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup ranch dressing (Optional, for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: 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.
Step 2: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, and the cooked chicken strips.
Step 5: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Spray the outside of each wrap lightly with olive oil spray. Place the wraps in the air fryer basket seam-side down.
Step 6: Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden.
Step 7: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken strips in a little olive oil and lemon juice before seasoning.
Try swapping mozzarella for pepper jack cheese to add a bit of spice.
Add sliced avocado or tomatoes inside the wrap for a fresh twist.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the chicken strips and wraps in a conventional oven at 375°F (190°C).

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to regain crispiness, or microwave until warmed through, though the wrap will be less crispy.
