Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)
Optional Add-ins
- Sliced green onions
- Chopped celery
- Baby spinach
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, hot sauce, and dressing if using. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the tortillas and divide the chicken mixture evenly among them. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each portion along with any optional add-ins like green onions, celery, or spinach.
- Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them up tightly into wraps to securely hold the filling.
- Brush with butter or oil: Lightly brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter or olive oil to help achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Air fry the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve: Let the wraps cool slightly after air frying, then slice and serve warm with extra hot sauce, ranch, or a fresh side salad.
Notes
- These wraps are perfect for using up leftover rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken you have on hand.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level or substitute with milder sauce if desired.
- Optional add-ins like sliced green onions, celery, or baby spinach add texture and freshness.
- Serve with additional dipping sauces such as ranch or blue cheese dressing for extra flavor.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
