Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Chicken cooked chicken breast strips, rotisserie or pan-fried
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded low-moisture, whole-milk
  • 4-6 Tortillas large flour tortillas, burrito-sized
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Binding Agent Marinara Sauce or Alfredo Sauce, or 2 tbsp Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Finely Crushed Cornflakes or Panko Breadcrumbs optional, for extra crunch
  • High-Heat Cooking Spray like avocado or coconut oil

Equipment

  • Air Fryer,
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken strips, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the binding agent (marinara, Alfredo, or cream cheese) and stir until the chicken is evenly coated and the mixture holds together.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
  3. Lay one flour tortilla flat. Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling horizontally across the center. Fold the side edges inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up, sealing the top edge with a dab of water or melted butter if needed.
  4. Optional: Brush the outside of the wrap with oil or cooking spray and roll in crushed cornflakes or panko for extra crunch.
  5. Lightly spray the wrapped tortilla with cooking spray. Place seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if needed.
  6. Air fry at 380°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. The cheese should be melted.
  7. Remove from the air fryer, slice diagonally, and serve immediately with dipping sauces like ranch or marinara.

Notes

For best results, ensure the filling isn't too moist to prevent sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to regain crispiness. Variations: Add Parmesan for extra flavor, use cheddar cheese, or keto-ify with lettuce wraps. Use rotisserie chicken for speed.
