Ingredients

Main Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

– 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

– 4 large flour tortillas

Seasoning and Coatings

– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– ½ teaspoon onion powder

– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

Additional Ingredients

– 2 eggs, beaten

– Olive oil spray

For these crispy wraps, it all starts with quality chicken. Use cooked chicken breast, shredded into fine pieces. This adds great flavor and texture. Next, fresh mozzarella cheese brings a creamy, melty delight to each bite. Grab some large flour tortillas to hold all this goodness together.

Now, let’s talk about seasoning. Italian seasoning adds a warm, herbal note. Garlic powder gives it a nice kick, and a hint of onion powder enhances the flavor. Breadcrumbs provide that perfect crunch when we air fry. I love to use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy finish.

Don’t forget the eggs! Beaten eggs help the breadcrumbs stick to the wraps. A light spray of olive oil adds a nice golden color and keeps the wraps from sticking in the air fryer. This mix of ingredients creates a balanced and tasty wrap that everyone will enjoy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Filling

To start, I combine the cooked chicken and cheese in a large bowl. I use 2 cups of shredded chicken and add 1 cup of fresh mozzarella and ½ cup of grated Parmesan. Then, I sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of onion powder. I also add salt and pepper to taste. I mix everything well with a spatula until it’s evenly blended.

Assembling the Wraps

Next, I lay a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. I spoon one-fourth of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla. I create a long strip along the edge. Then, I carefully roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, folding in the sides as I go. This helps secure the filling. I place the rolled wrap seam-side down on a plate. I repeat this with the other tortillas and filling.

Coating for Crispiness

Now, I prepare the coating. In a shallow dish, I pour 1 cup of breadcrumbs. In another dish, I beat 2 eggs until mixed well. I take each rolled wrap and dip it into the beaten eggs first. I let any excess egg drip off. After that, I roll it in the breadcrumbs, making sure each wrap is fully coated for the best crunch.

Cooking in the Air Fryer

I preheat my air fryer to 375°F (190°C). While it heats up, I lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. I arrange the wraps seam-side down in a single layer without overcrowding. Then, I lightly spray the tops of the wraps with olive oil spray. I air fry the wraps for 10-12 minutes. I flip them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Once they are golden brown and crispy, I carefully remove them from the air fryer. I let them cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing each wrap diagonally to show off the delicious filling.

Tips & Tricks

Ensuring Optimal Crispiness

– Choosing the right breadcrumbs: For the best crunch, use panko breadcrumbs. Panko is lighter and creates a better texture than regular breadcrumbs. It gives your wraps that golden, crispy finish everyone loves.

– Importance of oil spray: A light spray of olive oil makes a big difference. It helps the breadcrumbs crisp up nicely. Spray lightly on the wraps before cooking. This small step ensures that you get the perfect crunch.

Serving Suggestions

– Best dips and sauces: These wraps taste great with marinara sauce. It adds a nice tang and pairs well with the cheese. You can also try ranch or garlic aioli for a creamy twist.

– Garnishing ideas: Fresh basil or parsley adds color and flavor. Just sprinkle some on top before serving. It makes your dish look more appealing and adds a fresh taste.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

– Overfilling the wraps: Avoid the urge to stuff the wraps too much. If you add too much filling, they can burst open while cooking. Stick to a quarter of the filling per wrap for the best results.

– Not preheating the air fryer: Preheating is key for even cooking. If you skip this step, your wraps may not cook properly. Always set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes before you start. This ensures a perfect crispiness!

Variations

Ingredient Swaps

You can change the cheese in the wraps for a twist. Try using provolone or cheddar. Each cheese adds a unique flavor. If you prefer not to use chicken, swap it for turkey or tofu. Both options work well in these wraps.

Flavor Enhancements

Adding vegetables can boost the flavor and nutrition. Try spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms. These ingredients add color and crunch. You can also play with spices. Add paprika for a smoky taste or chili powder for heat. Experimenting with flavors keeps the dish exciting.

Tortilla Alternatives

Not a fan of flour tortillas? Use whole grain or gluten-free tortillas instead. They are just as tasty and can fit your diet. You can also try flatbreads or wraps made from other grains. These options give a fun twist to the classic recipe.

Storage Info

Storing Leftovers

After you enjoy your Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Mozzarella Wraps, store the leftovers in the fridge. Place them in an airtight container. These wraps will last for about three to four days in the fridge. Make sure to let them cool before sealing the container. This helps keep them fresh.

Freezing Instructions

If you want to keep the wraps longer, freezing is a great option. Wrap each cooled wrap in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can stay good for about two to three months. When you are ready to eat, reheat them in the air fryer. Set it to 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes. This keeps them crispy!

To save time, you can prepare these wraps ahead of time. Mix your filling and roll the wraps. Then, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. For best results, use clear containers. This way, you can see what’s inside and grab them quickly.
