Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set it to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to warm up for about 3 minutes. Preheating ensures the wraps cook evenly and achieve that golden crisp.
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Shred or dice the cooked chicken.
- Lay out the tortillas and spread a thin layer of your chosen sauce (hot sauce, mayo, or mustard) if using.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Place the chicken, ham, and cheese in the center of the tortilla.
- Add any optional ingredients, like spinach or lettuce, on top.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. If needed, use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wraps are golden and crispy.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool for 2 minutes.
- Slice in half for easier serving, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Helpful Tips for Perfect Wraps
Creating the perfect Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham and Cheese Wraps involves a few tricks and techniques:
- Wrapping Technique: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward first, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. This creates a compact wrap that holds together during cooking.
- Choose the Right Cheese: For the best melting texture, opt for cheese varieties like cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or provolone.
- Parchment Paper Liners: Use parchment paper liners designed for air fryers to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Experiment with Spices: Sprinkle spices like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning over the filling for added flavor depth.
- Layer Strategically: Place cheese closest to the tortilla so it melts and binds the wrap together.
