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
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the hot sauce and ranch dressing until well combined to create the flavorful sauce.
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: Ensure the chicken breasts are cooked and shredded or diced evenly to allow for consistent filling of the wraps.
- Divide the Chicken: Evenly distribute the shredded or diced chicken among the tortillas, placing the chicken in the center of each wrap.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken on each tortilla to add creaminess and flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
