For the wraps
09 -
4 large flour tortillas, 10-inch size
10 -
8 thin slices deli ham, about 6 oz (170 g)
11 -
1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a mix
12 -
1 large egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water
13 -
3/4 cup (45 g) panko breadcrumbs

Olive oil spray

# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Lightly coat the basket with oil spray if your model tends to stick.
02 -
In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken with hot sauce, melted butter, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
03 -
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds. Warm tortillas roll tighter and crack less.
04 -
Place 2 slices of ham on each tortilla. Add cheese and the hot chicken mixture down the center, keeping a 1-inch border around the edges.
05 -
Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly. Brush the outside with beaten egg, press into panko, and mist all sides with olive oil spray.
06 -
Arrange seam side down in a single layer. Air fry for 7-9 minutes, turning once, until the wraps are golden, crisp, and hot in the center.
07 -
Let the wraps rest for 2 minutes, then slice diagonally. Serve hot with ranch, pickles, or extra hot sauce.
# Good to know:
01 -
Use cooked chicken for the safest and most reliable timing.
02 -
Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if needed.
03 -
Best served right after air frying while the coating is crisp.
