Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham and Cheese Wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal or snack. The combination of crispy wraps with melted cheese, savory ham, and juicy chicken makes for an irresistible treat. The air fryer ensures the wraps come out perfectly crispy without the need for extra oil. Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
- 2 large flour tortillas (or wraps of your choice)
- 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or sliced)
- 4-6 slices deli ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella work well)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or mustard (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for a little extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- If you’re using leftover chicken, shred or slice it into small pieces. If you’re starting with raw chicken, cook it (either grilled, baked, or sautéed) and then shred it or cut into thin slices.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
2. Assemble the Wraps:
- If using, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or mustard on each tortilla for added flavor.
- On each tortilla, layer the chicken, ham slices, and shredded cheese. You can sprinkle garlic powder and paprika on top of the chicken and cheese for extra flavor, as well as salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla slightly, then roll it up tightly into a wrap.
3. Air Fry the Wraps:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the outside of the wraps with cooking spray or brush with a bit of olive oil to ensure they get crispy.
- Place the wraps in the air fryer basket, seam side down. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket so the wraps cook evenly. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping. The wraps are done when the outside is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted inside.
4. Serve:
- Once the wraps are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before slicing them into halves or thirds.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or marinara sauce for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Add Veggies: Feel free to add veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or onions to the wrap before rolling for added flavor and nutrition.
- Different Cheese: You can mix different cheeses like provolone, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these wraps ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate them. Then, just pop them in the air fryer when you’re ready to cook.
- Crispier Wraps: For an even crispier result, lightly brush the outside of the wraps with butter instead of oil, or give them a quick spray of cooking oil before air frying.
