  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wraps and Fillings
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce your favorite brand or homemade
Optional Toppings

  • red pepper flakes
  • Parmesan cheese extra

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Medium Bowl
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.

  2. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket, as this can lead to uneven cooking. You may need to cook the chicken in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

  3. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Give the basket a shake halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
  4. Gently warm your tortillas. You can do this by briefly microwaving them for about 20-30 seconds, or by toasting them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.

  5. Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the air fryer basket. In the center of each warm tortilla, spread a tablespoon or two of marinara sauce.

  6. Top the marinara sauce with a generous portion of the air-fried chicken. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.

  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward to create a secure pocket, then roll it up from the bottom. Place the assembled wraps back into the air fryer basket, seam-side down.

  8. Air fry the wraps at 375°F (190°C) for another 3-5 minutes, or until the tortilla is lightly golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Notes

Allow wraps to cool completely before storing. For reheating, the air fryer is recommended over the microwave to maintain tortilla texture.
