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
- 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.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the shredded or diced cooked chicken evenly among the center of each flour tortilla.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken in each tortilla for a melty, cheesy layer.
- Drizzle sauce: Pour the prepared hot sauce and ranch mixture evenly over the cheese and chicken fillings.
- 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.
- Prepare air fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent the wraps from sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
