Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (or wraps of choice)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or sliced
- 4 slices deli ham
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, provolone, or your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or mustard (optional, for spreading)
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
- Dipping sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or mustard on each tortilla, if using.
Step 2: Add the Filling
On each tortilla, layer 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of cheese, and ½ cup of cooked chicken in the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other, creating a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4: Air Fry the Wraps
Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with olive oil spray or cooking spray. Place the wraps in the air fryer basket seam-side down. Make sure the wraps are not overlapping; you may need to air fry them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the wraps at 400°F for 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The wraps should be golden and crispy on the outside, and the cheese should be melted inside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch, honey mustard, or marinara, and enjoy!
