Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts Juicy and tender, the star of the show.
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese For irresistible cheesy goodness; low-fat for a healthier option.
- 4 pieces Whole grain or flour tortillas Whole grain adds extra fiber.
- 1 cup Bell peppers For crunch and color; jalapeños can be used for heat.
- 1 medium Red onion Brings a zesty kick; substitute with green onions if preferred.
- 1 piece Egg Acts as a binder; flaxegg can be used for a vegan twist.
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs Panko works great; crushed corn flakes for gluten-free choice.
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by cutting the boneless chicken breasts into small strips.
- In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Dip each seasoned chicken strip in the beaten egg, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Cooking
- Place the breaded chicken strips in the air fryer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Assembly
- While the chicken is cooking, slice the bell peppers and red onion.
- Lay a tortilla on a plate, spread a sprinkle of mozzarella, add the crispy chicken, followed by bell peppers and onions.
- Tuck in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly.
- If you love extra crunch, pop the wrap back into the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serving
- Cut in half and enjoy alongside your favorite dipping sauce—ranch or marinara work wonders.
Notes
Got leftovers? Store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for reheating later. For extra crunch, lightly spray the wraps with cooking oil before air frying.
