Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas (or egg roll wrappers for extra crispiness)
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-seasoned or plain)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Cooking spray or olive oil (for air frying)
For Serving (Optional):
- Marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley (if using). Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.
2. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of the tortilla.
Fold the sides inward, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom to form a snug wrap. Use a bit of beaten egg to seal the edge and prevent it from opening while cooking.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
3. Coat the Wraps
In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Lightly brush each wrap with beaten egg, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere evenly to the surface.
4. Air Fry the Wraps
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Preheating helps achieve even cooking and extra crispiness.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil.
Place the wraps in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for proper air circulation. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
Lightly spray the tops of the wraps with cooking spray or brush them with a little olive oil.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wraps are golden brown and crisp.
5. Serve
Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli.
Tips for Success
- Use Egg Roll Wrappers: For an extra crispy finish, try using egg roll wrappers instead of tortillas.
- Don’t Overfill: Overfilling the wraps can cause them to burst open. Stick to about 2-3 tablespoons of filling per wrap.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: This ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Customize the Filling: Feel free to add chopped veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or jalapeños, or try different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a new flavor twist.
