Air Fryer Chicken Ham Wraps

Servings: 4 large wraps

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10–15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch burrito-size)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced (rotisserie or grilled works well)
  • 4 slices deli ham (or 8 if thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for extra moisture)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or honey mustard (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing

Optional add-ins:

  • Baby spinach or arugula leaves
  • Tomato slices (seeds removed to avoid sogginess)
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Pickles or banana peppers for tang

Instructions

1. 

Prepare the Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise (if using), mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add the shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese until everything is evenly combined.

2. 

Assemble the Wraps

  1. Warm tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave to make them more pliable.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat and spread about 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in a horizontal line across the center.
  3. Top with 1 slice of ham (or 2, if thin) and any optional add-ins like spinach or tomato.
  4. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito-style wrap.
  5. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

3. 

Air Fry the Wraps

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Lightly brush or spray each wrap with olive oil or cooking spray to help it crisp.
  3. Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for air circulation. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches.
  4. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wraps are golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and wrap thickness.

4. 

Serve

  1. Let wraps cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing in half.
  2. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce: ranch, honey mustard, chipotle mayo, or even marinara for a pizza-style twist.

Tips & Variations

  • Add crunch: Sprinkle in crushed tortilla chips or cooked bacon bits before rolling for texture.
  • Make ahead: Assemble wraps and refrigerate them uncooked for up to 24 hours; air fry just before serving.
  • Freeze for later: Wrap assembled (but uncooked) wraps in foil and freeze. Air fry from frozen at 360°F (180°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Low-carb option: Use low-carb tortillas or large lettuce leaves for a wrap alternative.
  • Different cheeses: Try Swiss, provolone, pepper jack, or gouda for different flavor profiles.
