Step-by-Step Directions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper.
Add a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, and feel free to include optional ingredients like lettuce, tomatoes, or avocado.
Roll each tortilla tightly to form wraps.
Dip each wrap in the beaten egg, ensuring they are well-coated, then roll them in the breadcrumbs for crunch.
Place the wraps in the air fryer basket. Drizzle them with olive oil for added flavor and crispness.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Best Way to Serve

These Crunchy Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are best enjoyed warm, straight from the air fryer. Serve them with a side of dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or salsa. For a complete meal, pair them with a fresh salad loaded with colorful veggies, or serve with sweet potato fries for a fun twist.

Storage Tips

To keep your wraps fresh for longer, allow them to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to make them ahead of time, consider freezing them. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them back in the air fryer until warmed through.

Pro Chef Tips

For an extra crispy finish, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. They add incredible texture!
If you’re feeling adventurous, spice up your chicken mixture with garlic powder or Italian herbs for added flavor.
Use a silicone mat or parchment paper in your air fryer basket for easy cleanup.

Creative Twists

These wraps are incredibly versatile. Try adding different proteins like cooked shrimp or ground turkey. You can switch up the cheese, adding cheddar or pepper jack for a kick. Want a diet-friendly option? Use whole grain or low-carb tortillas for a healthier version.

Your Questions Answered

How long does it take to prepare these wraps?
The entire process, from prep to cooking, takes about 30 minutes.

Can I use raw chicken instead?
Yes, you can. However, you’ll need to cook the chicken first before shredding it.

What are safe ways to reheat these wraps?
Air frying is best to maintain crispness, but you can also use an oven. Just make sure they are heated to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
