1 tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
¼ cup ranch dressing (optional, for serving)

Optional: Bell peppers, onions, or Italian herbs for extra flavor

Instructions

1. Season the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, toss chicken strips with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

2. Air Fry the Chicken

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the basket with cooking spray and arrange chicken in a single layer. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Lay out tortillas and add a layer of fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella, and cooked chicken. Roll tightly, sealing the edges.

4. Crisp the Wraps

Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil. Place seam-side down in the air fryer and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.

5. Serve

Slice in half and serve with ranch, salsa verde, or a drizzle of sriracha mayo. Enjoy warm!

Tips & Tricks

Prep Ahead: Slice chicken and shred cheese ahead of time to save minutes during dinner.

Avoid Overcrowding: Cook wraps in batches if needed for even crisping.

Meal Prep & Storage

Reheat: Pop leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes to restore crispness.
Freezing: Wrap tightly in parchment and foil, freeze, then thaw overnight and air fry to warm.
