Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Marinade

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Wrap Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Optional Toppings

  • Diced tomatoes
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sour cream
  • Guacamole

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly. For best flavor, let the chicken marinate for 15-30 minutes, though this step is optional.
  2. Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket; if needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry the chicken for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking for even browning, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once done, remove and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
  3. Prepare the Wraps: Warm the flour tortillas to make them pliable and enhance flavor. This can be done by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat, microwaving each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side, or air frying them briefly.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of ranch dressing over the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by a portion of the air-fried chicken, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
  5. Fold the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward to contain the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, creating a secure wrap that holds all ingredients inside.
  6. (Optional) Air Fry the Assembled Wraps: For a crispier exterior and melted cheese, place the assembled wraps seam-side down into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas turn lightly golden brown and the cheese inside becomes gooey.
  7. Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer, cut each in half for easier handling, and serve immediately with optional toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken is optional but enhances the flavor and tenderness.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking of chicken pieces.
  • If you prefer a spicier wrap, do not omit the cayenne pepper.
  • Use cooked bacon that is crisp for the best texture contrast.
  • To keep tortillas soft and prevent cracking, warm them before assembling the wraps.
  • Optional air frying of assembled wraps adds a pleasant crunch and melts the cheese nicely.
