Ready in under 20 minutes, these wraps offer a deliciously crunchy outside with a gooey, spicy interior.


Ingredients

Scale

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded or diced

Fillings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing

For Cooking

  • Cooking spray or olive oil, for greasing


Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the hot sauce and ranch dressing to create a spicy, creamy sauce that will add flavor and moisture to the wraps.
  2. Assemble the wraps: Divide the shredded or diced cooked chicken evenly among the center of each flour tortilla.
  3. Add cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken in each tortilla for a melty, cheesy layer.
  4. Drizzle sauce: Pour the prepared hot sauce and ranch mixture evenly over the cheese and chicken fillings.
  5. Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them up tightly into compact wraps to hold the ingredients together during cooking.
  6. Prepare air fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent the wraps from sticking.
  7. Place wraps in air fryer: Arrange the wraps seam side down in the basket, making sure they are spaced apart and not touching to allow even crisping.
  8. Cook: Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown, crispy outside, and the cheese inside has melted.
  9. Serve: Remove the wraps carefully from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, and serve warm with additional hot sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level.
  • Use pre-cooked chicken to reduce prep time.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
  • Ensure wraps are rolled tightly to prevent filling from spilling out during air frying.
  • If your air fryer is smaller, cook the wraps in batches to avoid overcrowding.
