🧾 Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch size; low-carb or whole wheat optional)

  • 1 ½ cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken (rotisserie or leftover grilled works great)

  • 4 slices deli ham (or 6 if you like it extra meaty)

  • 4 slices Swiss, provolone, cheddar, or mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)

  • 1 tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard (optional, for extra zing)

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Cooking spray or olive oil for crisping

🔥 Instructions

1. Make the Filling

  • In a bowl, mix:

    • Shredded chicken

    • Mayonnaise and mustard (if using)

    • Garlic powder, onion powder

    • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Stir until well combined.

2. Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay out a tortilla.

  2. Place a slice of ham in the center.

  3. Top with 1/4 of the chicken mixture.

  4. Add a slice of cheese on top.

  5. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly like a burrito.

  6. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

3. Air Fry

  1. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil or cooking spray.

  2. Place wraps seam-side down in the basket (don’t overcrowd; work in batches if needed).

  3. Lightly spray the tops of wraps with oil for crispiness.

  4. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

🔄 Optional: For extra melty cheese, you can secure wraps with toothpicks during cooking.

🧀 Variations & Add-ins

  • Add thin tomato slices or spinach before rolling

  • Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick

  • Swap chicken for turkey or leftover roast beef

  • Add a pickle slice for a “Cuban sandwich” twist

  • Use lavash or low-carb wraps for a lighter version

❓ FAQ / Q&A

Q: Can I use raw chicken?

A: No, use pre-cooked chicken only. The air fryer will not cook raw meat safely in this short time.

Q: Can I prep these ahead of time?

A: Yes! Assemble and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Air fry when ready to eat.

Q: Can I freeze them?

A: Yes. Wrap in foil and freeze. Reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 10–12 minutes from frozen.

Q: My wrap unrolled while cooking — help?

A: Roll tightly, place seam-side down, and secure with a toothpick if needed. You can also brush the seam with a little mayo or mustard to “seal” it.

Q: Can I make it low-carb or gluten-free?

A: Yes! Use a low-carb or gluten-free wrap and ensure your fillings are compliant.

📝 Tips for Success

  • Don’t overstuff—this helps with sealing and crisping.

  • Press gently down on wraps before air frying for better shape and contact.

  • Use freshly grated cheese for better melt and flavor.

  • Serve with honey mustard, ranch, or sriracha mayo for dipping!
