Here’s a full, detailed recipe for making Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham and Cheese Wraps. I’ll include ingredients, step-by-step directions, and some tips to make them perfectly crispy and melty.
Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham and Cheese Wraps
Ingredients (for 2–4 wraps)
-
2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
-
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken works great)
-
4 slices of deli ham
-
4 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or American)
-
2 tablespoons cream cheese or mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or honey mustard (optional)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 teaspoon butter, melted (for brushing)
-
Cooking spray (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
-
In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken with:
-
Cream cheese or mayo (if using)
-
Dijon or honey mustard
-
Garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
-
-
Stir until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
2. Assemble the Wraps
-
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
-
Place 2 slices of ham in the center.
-
Add half of the chicken mixture on top of the ham.
-
Place 2 slices of cheese over the chicken.
-
Fold the sides of the tortilla in slightly, then roll it tightly from one end to the other, securing the filling inside.
Tip: Don’t overfill, or it might leak while cooking.
3. Prepare for Air Frying
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
-
Brush or spray the outside of the wrap lightly with melted butter or cooking spray. This helps it crisp up beautifully.
4. Air Fry the Wraps
-
Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
-
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes.
-
Flip halfway through for even browning.
-
Cook until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
Note: Air fryers vary, so check at 6 minutes to avoid burning.
5. Serve
-
Let the wraps rest for 1–2 minutes (they’ll be hot!).
-
Slice in half diagonally and serve with your favorite dipping sauce:
-
Ranch, honey mustard, or sriracha mayo work well.
-
Tips for Best Results
-
Use slightly thicker tortillas—they hold the filling better.
-
Don’t skip the butter or spray; it’s what makes the wraps crispy.
-
Add veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or jalapeños if you want a little crunch and flavor.
-
Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes.
