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 Ingredients

4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup ranch dressing (optional, for serving)
Olive oil cooking spray (for spraying wraps)

Additional

Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)

Instructions

Season the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips 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.
Cook the Chicken: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Assemble the Wraps: Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. On each tortilla, layer fresh spinach leaves, shredded mozzarella cheese, and the cooked chicken strips.
Wrap and Prepare for Crisping: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray to promote browning and crispiness.
Air Fry the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tortillas become crispy and golden brown.
Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve with ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken strips in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning.
Whole wheat tortillas provide added fiber and nutrients; however, you can substitute with your preferred type of tortilla.
Served with ranch dressing, these wraps also pair well with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking chicken to allow even air circulation and crisping.
