How to Make Air Fryer Hot Chicken, Ham, & Cheese Wraps
Step 1 — Warm the Tortilla
Heat your tortilla for 10–15 seconds in the microwave so it becomes soft and easy to fold.
Step 2 — Build the Wrap
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese, ranch, or spicy mayo on the tortilla.
Add in layers:
- Chicken
- Ham
- Cheese
- Any extra seasoning or hot sauce
Leave space on the edges for folding.
Step 3 — Wrap It Tight
Fold the sides inward, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
Step 4 — Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
Spray the wrap lightly with oil (top and bottom).
Air fry at:
390°F (200°C) for 6–8 minutes,
flipping halfway through.
The wrap should be golden, crispy, and bubbling slightly at the edges.
Step 5 — Slice and Serve
Let it cool 1 minute, then cut in half and enjoy the melty goodness!
