Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Seasoning
- 2 large chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Optional
- ¼ cup ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts to ensure flavor.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Slice the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, slice them thinly to prepare for wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the sliced chicken evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded mozzarella cheese and add fresh spinach leaves on top.
- Warm the Wraps: To melt the cheese and warm the wraps, place each assembled wrap back in the air fryer basket and heat at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and tortillas are slightly crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer. Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray the chicken with cooking oil before air frying.
- You can substitute fresh spinach with other greens like arugula or kale.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
- Make sure not to overfill the wraps so they can fold easily.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer.
