Description

Nashville-style hot chicken meets melted cheese in these irresistible air fryer wraps, promising a spicy flavor explosion. Crispy, golden tortillas packed with zesty chicken and gooey cheese deliver a quick, satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) chicken breast, cooked and shredded

Cheese and Dairy:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Wrap and Garnish:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Toss shredded chicken with fiery hot sauce, ensuring each strand is thoroughly coated with zesty flavor.
  2. Unfurl flour tortillas and generously spread cool ranch dressing across the surface, creating a creamy base.
  3. Distribute the spicy chicken mixture evenly onto each tortilla, maintaining balanced proportions.
  4. Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese and freshly chopped green onions over the chicken, adding layers of texture and tang.
  5. Carefully fold and roll the tortillas, neatly tucking in the edges to create compact, sealed parcels.
  6. Arrange the wrapped bundles inside the air fryer basket, positioning them with slight spacing for optimal crispiness.
  7. Air fry at 350°F for 6-8 minutes, rotating midway to ensure uniform golden-brown exterior and melted cheese interior.
  8. Remove wraps once they achieve a crisp, appetizing golden color with slightly charred edges.
  9. Transfer to serving plates immediately, allowing the hot, gooey filling to remain molten and enticing.

Notes

  • Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice tolerance.
  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese options.
  • Prep wraps ahead of time and refrigerate before air frying for a quick meal prep solution.
  • Experiment with different protein alternatives like pulled pork or shredded turkey for variety.
