Ingredients
- Pre-cooked shredded chicken: 1.5 cups
- Medium flour tortillas (8-inch size): 4
- Shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese: 1 cup
- Marinara or pizza sauce: 1/2 cup (plus extra for serving)
- Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Olive oil or cooking spray: For crisping
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/4 cup of the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Step 2: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto the center. Fold the sides inward tightly, then roll the wrap up from the bottom to create a sealed burrito-style package. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
- Step 3: Lightly coat the tops and bottoms of the wraps evenly with cooking spray or brush lightly with olive oil to ensure maximum crispiness in the air fryer.
- Step 4: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place 2 or 3 wraps into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching, and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5: Carefully remove the hot wraps from the air fryer. Serve immediately with the remaining marinara sauce for dipping and a sprinkle of the reserved mozzarella cheese, if desired.
Notes
- For the easiest meal prep, assemble the wraps completely (up to Step 3), wrap them individually in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 3 days, air frying them when you are ready to eat.
- Leftover wraps can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days and quickly brought back to life by air frying them at 350°F for 4-5 minutes until the exterior is crispy again.
- Elevate your simple dipping sauce by stirring a teaspoon of fresh chopped basil and a pinch of red pepper flakes into the warm marinara sauce right before serving.
- To ensure the tortillas don't crack while you create the necessary tight seal, microwave them for 10-15 seconds before filling them with the chicken mixture to increase pliability.
