Description

These Air Fryer Hot Chicken and Cheese Wraps combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and a spicy ranch-hot sauce blend wrapped in flour tortillas. Air fried to golden perfection, they offer a crispy exterior with a melty, flavorful filling, making a quick and satisfying meal or snack.


Ingredients

Wrap Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Sauce Ingredients

  • 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 until well combined to create the flavorful sauce.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Filling: Ensure the chicken breasts are cooked and shredded or diced evenly to allow for consistent filling of the wraps.
  3. Divide the Chicken: Evenly distribute the shredded or diced chicken among the tortillas, placing the chicken in the center of each wrap.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken on each tortilla to add creaminess and flavor.
  5. Drizzle Sauce: Pour the hot sauce and ranch dressing mixture evenly over the cheese and chicken in each wrap for a spicy and tangy kick.
  6. Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll them up to form secure wraps, preventing filling from spilling out.
  7. Preheat and Prepare Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  8. Place Wraps in Air Fryer: Arrange the wraps seam side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch to allow even crisping.
  9. Cook: Air fry the wraps at about 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden, crispy, and the cheese inside has melted completely.
  10. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly before serving. Serve hot with additional hot sauce or ranch dressing as desired for dipping.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce in the sauce mixture according to your preferred spice level.
  • Ensure the wraps are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the wraps in batches for best results.
  • Use cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie for quicker prep.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
