Description

Quick and delicious air fryer wraps filled with crispy chicken and stretchy mozzarella, perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Chicken Preparation

2 pieces small chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets (Thinner pieces cook faster and stay juicy.)
1 tsp garlic powder (Adjust to taste.)
1 tsp smoked paprika (Adjust to taste.)
1 tsp Italian seasoning (Adjust to taste.)
1 tsp kosher salt (Adjust to taste.)
0.5 tsp black pepper (Adjust to taste.)

Breading and Assembly

0.5 cup flour
2 pieces eggs, beaten
1.5 cups cornflake crumbs or panko (Cornflake crumbs make the crunch louder.)
1 to 1.5 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella (Low moisture melts cleanly and avoids soggy spots.)
8 to 10 inches flour tortillas, burrito style (Warm them for easy rolling.)
1 spray oil (avocado or olive) (Lightly spray the outside for a golden finish.)

Optional Extras

1 tbsp marinara sauce (Add inside each wrap, optional.)
1 tbsp pesto (Add inside each wrap, optional.)
1 tbsp ranch dressing (Add inside each wrap, optional.)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (Sprinkle on the outside, optional.)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry, then season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat in cornflake crumbs or panko, pressing crumbs on firmly.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes and spray the basket.
Air fry the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 2 minutes.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay out warm tortillas, add mozzarella down the center, then the crispy chicken.
Optional: Add marinara or pesto if desired.
Roll burrito style by folding in the sides and rolling tightly.
Place seam side down in the air fryer.

Finish Cooking

Lower the air fryer temperature to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray the outside of the wraps with oil.
Dust with grated Parmesan and air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping once, until the tortilla is golden and cheese is melty.
Let rest for 1 minute before slicing.

Notes

Keep fillings in a tight line to avoid bursting, and warm tortillas for easier rolling. For extra crunch, consider mixing cornstarch with flour for breading.
