Ingredients

  • Chicken: 1 to 1.25 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Oil: 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • Spices: garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper
  • Tortillas: 4–6 large flour tortillas (10-inch) or whole-wheat tortillas
  • Cheese: Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella
  • Veggies: Romaine or mixed greens, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, or bell peppers
  • Sauce: Ranch, chipotle mayo, Greek yogurt sauce, or Caesar dressing
  • Optional add-ins: Avocado, pickled jalapeños, corn, black beans, fresh cilantro, lime
  • Cooking spray for the air fryer basket

Instructions

  • Prep the chicken. Pat the chicken dry. Slice into thin cutlets or bite-size strips for faster, even cooking.
  • Season generously. In a bowl, toss chicken with oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Adjust to taste.
  • Preheat the air fryer. Set to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the basket to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the chicken. Arrange chicken in a single layer. Air fry 8–11 minutes, flipping halfway, until the thickest piece hits 165°F (74°C) and edges are crisp. Time varies by thickness and air fryer model.
  • Warm the tortillas. Wrap tortillas in a clean towel and microwave 20–30 seconds, or place them in the air fryer for 30–45 seconds to make them pliable.
  • Assemble the wraps. Spread sauce over each tortilla. Add greens, chicken, cheese, and your favorite veggies. Squeeze lime if using.
  • Roll and crisp (optional but excellent). Fold the sides in, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the air fryer. Lightly spray the tops. Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 2–3 minutes until the outside is lightly crisp and cheese melts.
  • Serve. Slice in half and serve with extra sauce, salsa, or a simple side salad.
