Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Sauces and Seasonings
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for cooking the wraps to a perfect crisp.
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, hot sauce, and ranch dressing thoroughly until evenly coated to create the spicy, creamy filling.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out each large tortilla and evenly distribute the chicken mixture onto the center of each wrap.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the chicken mixture on each tortilla for that melty, cheesy finish.
- Roll and Brush: Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to form wraps and lightly brush the outside of each wrap with olive oil to ensure crispiness during air frying.
- Air Fry Wraps: Place the wraps seam side down in the air fryer basket to keep them closed and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and allow them to cool a few minutes before slicing, ensuring the filling sets nicely and is safe to eat.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Feel free to adjust the hot sauce quantity to control the spice level.
- Brush the wraps with olive oil to achieve a golden, crispy texture but avoid soaking them.
- Serve with extra ranch dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Any type of shredded cheese like mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend works well in this recipe.
