What to Serve It With

These wraps are delicious on their own, but you can elevate your meal with some fun side dishes. Consider serving them with a fresh garden salad or crispy sweet potato fries for a complete dinner experience. You could also prepare a zesty salsa or a side of guacamole to complement the flavors of the wraps beautifully. And don’t forget to have extra ranch or your preferred dipping sauce on hand — it’s the perfect finishing touch!

How to Store Crunchy Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps

Storing leftovers is a breeze! If you find yourself with extra wraps, let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. In the fridge, they can stay fresh for about 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them; just ensure they’re properly wrapped in freezer-safe bags or containers. When reheating, an air fryer is best for maintaining that crispy texture, but a microwave works in a pinch—just understand it may compromise the crunch.

Pro Chef Tips

  • To optimize crispiness, don’t overcrowd the air fryer; it’s better to cook in batches if necessary.
  • Feel free to mix in your favorite spices or herbs into the chicken mixture for an extra flavor boost!
  • If you have time, consider making your ranch dressing from scratch for a fresh twist.

Creative Twists

The beauty of these wraps lies in their versatility. You can easily switch up the ingredients to suit your tastes. Add sliced jalapeños for a kick, or swap the mozzarella for feta or cheddar cheese. If you’re looking for a healthier option, roasted vegetables or beans can be added to amp up the nutrition. You could even create a Mediterranean version with grilled chicken, tzatziki sauce, and arugula.
