Storage Tips

Want to enjoy these wraps later? Proper storage extends their shelf life! After they cool down, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. They can last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them—just make sure they’re appropriately sealed. When reheating, use the air fryer at a low setting to make them crispy again.

Pro Chef Tips

To elevate this dish, consider marinating your chicken beforehand for deeper flavor. Adding spices like garlic powder or paprika can enhance the taste dramatically. You can also experiment with different cheeses or even add jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Creative Twists

Feel like trying something new? Swap out the chicken for shredded beef or beans for a vegetarian option! You can also experiment with different types of cheese like pepper jack or cheddar for varied flavors. Try adding grilled veggies, like bell peppers or zucchini, for added nutrition and taste!
