Ingredients
Scale
- Base & Main Components:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cups (8 oz) shredded low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 8 large (burrito-size) flour tortillas
- Olive oil spray (or 2 tablespoons olive oil)
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion (about 1/2 medium)
- Flavor Builders:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Essential Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh Finish & Serving:
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prep Chicken: Dice chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss with garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. This ensures even flavor for your ultimate Crunchy Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and red onion, cooking until chicken is lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chicken broth.
- Combine Filling: Remove chicken mixture from heat. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until just melted and well combined. This creates the gooey, savory core for your ultimate Crunchy Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps.
- Fill Wraps: Lay out tortillas. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken and mozzarella mixture onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap for air frying.
- Air Fry: Lightly spray the Crunchy Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps with olive oil. Place 2-3 wraps in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Serve Warm: Garnish the hot wraps with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy immediately for the best satisfying crunch. These make quick lunches, satisfying dinners, or party appetizers.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; this ensures wraps crisp perfectly instead of steaming.
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
For a gluten-free option, use your favorite sturdy gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
Serve hot from the air fryer with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for the best crunch and flavor.
For superior crispness and a golden exterior, lightly brush assembled wraps with melted butter before air frying.
