These Air Fryer Chicken and Mozzarella Wraps are a tasty treat! Packed with juicy chicken and gooey mozzarella, they’re crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside.
Who doesn’t love crispy wraps? I like to serve them with some dipping sauce for extra fun. Grab a wrap and enjoy—it’s a mess-free snack that satisfies! 😋
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Tortillas: Large flour tortillas are perfect for filling. If you’re watching carbs, consider using whole wheat or corn tortillas instead. They’ll still wrap nicely and taste great!
Chicken: I love using cooked chicken breast for this recipe. If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, it’s an excellent choice. For a vegetarian option, try using sautéed mushrooms or a mix of your favorite veggies!
Cheese: Mozzarella gives that lovable stretchiness. If you want to change it up, try provolone or even a dairy-free cheese if you’re lactose intolerant!
Seasonings: The spices add great flavor. You can swap smoked paprika for regular paprika or omit it completely. If you like a kick, add a pinch of chili powder or red pepper flakes!
How Do You Get That Wrap Crispy and Delicious in the Air Fryer?
Getting that perfect crisp on your wraps is easy with these steps! Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F. This helps the wraps cook evenly and get that golden color.
- Spread a light layer of cooking oil or spray on the outside of the wrap. It helps create a nice crunchy texture.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. This keeps them sealed while they cook.
- Cook for about 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through. This way, both sides get equally crispy!
Let them cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese settle, making it less messy when you bite into them. Enjoy your wraps warm and crispy!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful recipe takes about 10 minutes to prep. You’ll need another 7-9 minutes for cooking in the air fryer, making a total of around 20 minutes from start to finish. Perfect for a quick meal or snack!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated in the spices. This gives your chicken lots of tasty flavor!
2. Assemble the Wrap:
Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of marinara or pizza sauce evenly on the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges. This will keep your wrap from getting soggy. Next, distribute half of your seasoned chicken over the sauce, and then sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top.
3. Roll It Up:
Carefully roll the tortilla into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to keep all those yummy fillings secure inside. Lay the wrap seam-side down.
4. Get It Crispy:
Lightly brush or spray the outside of the wrap with cooking oil or spray. This will help it crisp up nicely during cooking. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 7-9 minutes until they turn golden brown and the cheese is ooey-gooey, flipping them halfway through for an even crunch.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve with extra marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

Can I Use Leftover Chicken for This Recipe?
Absolutely! Leftover rotisserie chicken works great here. Just shred or chop it, and you’re ready to go. It saves time and adds even more flavor!
Can I Substitute the Tortillas with a Low-Carb Option?
Yes! Try using low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps to keep it lighter. Just be aware that cooking times may vary slightly with different textures.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore that crispy texture, or use the microwave if you’re in a hurry!
What Dipping Sauces Pair Well with These Wraps?
Great choices include marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic aioli. You can even mix some hot sauce with ranch for a spicy kick! Enjoy experimenting!
