Ingredients You Need

Simple, everyday ingredients come together to create something special:

For Each Wrap

  • 1 large flour tortilla (low-carb, whole-wheat, or regular)
  • ½ cup cooked chicken (grilled, rotisserie, or shredded)
  • 2–3 slices deli ham
  • ¼–½ cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Pepper Jack, or a blend)

  • Cooking spray or a light brush of olive oil

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:

  1. Chicken
  2. Ham
  3. Cheese
  4. 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!

These wraps pair amazingly with:

  • Ranch dressing
