Ingredients
  

  • 2 large flour tortillas 10-12 inch; low-carb tortillas work well as a substitute
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or chopped; rotisserie chicken recommended
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese freshly shredded melts more evenly than pre-packaged
  • 0.25 cup marinara sauce use a thicker sauce to avoid sogginess; or favorite pizza sauce
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 handful fresh baby spinach or diced bell peppers optional
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing; or use cooking spray

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Pastry brush or cooking spray
  • Microwave

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
  3. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space at the edges.
  4. Layer shredded chicken evenly over the sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the cheese. Add optional spinach or bell peppers if using.
  5. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly forward into a compact burrito shape. Press the seam gently to close.
  6. Lightly coat the outside of each wrap with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
  7. Place wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  8. Slice in half on a diagonal and serve immediately while the mozzarella is still warm and melty.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Do not stack wraps as cheese can cause them to stick. Reheating: Air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes restores crispiness. Microwave works but softens the tortilla. Substitutions: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, provolone, or Pepper Jack. Add sliced jalapenos or hot sauce for heat. Use low-carb tortillas to reduce carbs. Vegetarian version: omit chicken and double the vegetables. Oven method: Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes on a parchment-lined sheet, flipping once.
