These Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are a quick, flavorful, and healthy meal option made with tender seasoned chicken strips, fresh spinach, and melted mozzarella cheese wrapped in whole wheat tortillas. Cooked in the air fryer for a crispy finish, they are perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner with optional ranch dressing for extra taste.

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

Optional

  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (for serving)
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray (for air fryer basket and outside of wraps)

Instructions

  1. Prepare 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 well to coat with the seasoning evenly.
  2. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 3 to 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the chicken: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 8 minutes total, flipping the strips halfway through. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Remove the cooked chicken and lay out the tortillas. On each tortilla, place a layer of fresh spinach, then a generous portion of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked chicken strips.
  5. Roll and prepare for final cooking: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray.
  6. Air fry the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 2 to 3 minutes until the tortillas become crispy and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken strips are cut thin for quick and even cooking.
  • Whole wheat tortillas add extra fiber and nutrients compared to white flour tortillas.
  • Ranch dressing is optional but adds a creamy, tangy flavor to the wraps.
  • Air fryer times may vary depending on the model; check for doneness and adjust accordingly.
  • For added flavor, consider adding sliced tomatoes or avocado inside the wrap.
  • Make sure to spray the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
