Make fast, crispy chicken mozzarella wraps in your air fryer. This recipe delivers juicy chicken and perfectly melted cheese inside a golden tortilla for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil spray
  • Optional: 1/4 cup ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thinner cutlets. Season the chicken evenly with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C). Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Air fry the chicken for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding or dicing it into small pieces.
  4. Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave for 15 seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat. Place one-quarter of the cooked chicken down the center, leaving space on the sides. Top the chicken with one-quarter of the mozzarella cheese.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then tightly roll the bottom edge up over the filling to create a sealed wrap. Repeat for the remaining wraps.
  7. Lightly spray the outside of each assembled wrap with olive oil spray.
  8. Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  9. Serve your **quick chicken cheese tortilla air fryer** meals immediately with ranch dressing, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly brush the outside of the wraps with melted butter instead of using oil spray.
  • Do not overfill the wraps; too much filling causes the mozzarella to leak out during cooking.
  • This is a great **fast air fryer lunch idea chicken** recipe when made ahead and reheated briefly.
