Instructions
Follow these steps to create the perfect Air Fryer Hot Chicken and Cheese Wraps:
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the hot sauce and ranch dressing to create a flavorful sauce. This combination brings a delightful blend of heat and creaminess that perfectly complements the chicken and cheese.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the shredded or diced chicken evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each one. Top each portion of chicken with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Drizzle the hot sauce-ranch dressing mixture over the fillings on each tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortillas over the fillings, then roll them up tightly to form wraps. Ensuring the wraps are tightly rolled helps keep the fillings intact during cooking.
Cook in the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the wraps seam side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other. This allows for even cooking and prevents the wraps from sticking together. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5-7 minutes, or until the wraps are golden brown and crispy on the outside and the cheese is melted and bubbly on the inside. Depending on your air fryer model, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
Serve:
Carefully remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. This helps prevent burns and allows the wraps to firm up slightly. Serve hot with additional hot sauce or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired. These wraps make a fantastic meal on their own or can be paired with a fresh salad or vegetable side dish.
