Ingredients (Makes 4 Wraps)
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ¼ cup mayonnaise or ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, mayo/ranch, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well coated.
- Assemble the wraps: Spoon the filling into the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly like a burrito.
- Prep for air frying: Lightly spray or brush the wraps with cooking oil or melted butter for a golden, crispy finish.
- Air fry: Place wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden brown.
- Serve hot: Slice in half and serve with dipping sauces like ranch, BBQ, or more hot sauce!
Tips & Add-ins
- Add sautéed onions, peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Swap the hot sauce for buffalo, BBQ, or chipotle sauce depending on your mood.
- Use leftover grilled or baked chicken for a quick weeknight solution.
