Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour Tortillas: Large flour tortillas give a great base for wraps. If you’re looking for a healthier option, whole wheat or low-carb tortillas work well too. You can even use corn tortillas for a gluten-free version!
Cooked Chicken: Using cooked chicken breasts is quick and easy. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience. If you prefer a vegetarian version, swap chicken for sautéed mushrooms or grilled zucchini.
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Mozzarella melts beautifully, making it perfect for these wraps. If you’re out of mozzarella, try using provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses for a flavorful twist.
Marinara Sauce: This adds moisture and flavor. If marinara isn’t available, pizza sauce or even a garlic aioli can work. For a spicy flavor, add a little hot sauce to the sauce!
How Do I Get the Perfect Crisp on My Wraps?
The key to crispy wraps in the air fryer is all about the prep! Make sure to preheat your air fryer fully—this helps to give an immediate crunch.
- Brush the outside of the wraps with olive oil or use cooking spray; this helps them crisp up nicely.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket—place the wraps seam side down with space in between, so they air fry evenly.
- Keep an eye on them! Air fryers can cook quickly, so check them around 8 minutes to avoid over-browning.

Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Wraps:
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 tsp olive oil (for brushing)
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious recipe will take about 15 minutes of prep time and around 10 minutes to cook in the air fryer. You’ll be enjoying your crispy, cheesy wraps in no time!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat The Air Fryer:
Start by preheating your air fryer to 370°F (190°C). This usually takes about 5 minutes and ensures your wraps get crispy!
2. Season The Chicken:
Take the sliced cooked chicken and season it with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. This adds flavor to the chicken.
3. Prepare The Tortillas:
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds so they become pliable. This makes it easier to wrap them without tearing.
4. Assemble The Wraps:
Spread a generous tablespoon of marinara sauce on each tortilla, leaving a little space around the edge. Then, layer the sliced chicken evenly on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken to achieve that gooey, melty texture.
5. Roll Them Up:
Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, tucking in the ends as you go. This will help keep all the delicious filling inside!
6. Prepare For Air Frying:
Lightly brush the outside of each wrap with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up while cooking.
7. Air Fry The Wraps:
Now, place the wraps seam side down in the air fryer basket. Be sure to leave some space between the wraps for even cooking.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish and Serve:
Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer. If you’d like, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil for extra flavor and a pop of color.
Serve them hot with extra marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your crispy, melty Air Fryer Chicken and Mozzarella Wraps!
Can I Use Different Types of Tortillas?
Absolutely! While flour tortillas are great for these wraps, you can also use whole wheat, corn, or even spinach tortillas for a fun twist or healthier option.
What Can I Substitute for Cooked Chicken?
If you don’t have cooked chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken works perfectly. For a vegetarian version, try using grilled vegetables, tofu, or even black beans instead!
How Do I Store Leftover Wraps?
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to get that crispy texture back.
Can I Make These Wraps Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prepare the wraps, fill them, and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 hours before air frying. Just remember to add a little extra cooking time if they start out chilled.
