To whip up these tasty Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wraps, gather the following items: - 2 large chicken breasts, cubed - 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade) - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon paprika - Salt and pepper to taste - 4 whole wheat tortillas - 1 cup lettuce, shredded - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved - Optional: 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing (for drizzling) These ingredients work together to create a dish that bursts with flavor. The buffalo sauce gives a spicy kick, while the mozzarella cheese adds a creamy texture. The addition of fresh lettuce and tomatoes balances the heat perfectly. You can customize the wrap with your favorite extras, but these basics form a solid foundation. Start by mixing your chicken with olive oil and buffalo sauce. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir until all the chicken cubes are coated. This step adds flavor. Let it marinate for a few minutes for better taste. Meanwhile, preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps the chicken cook evenly. Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket. Make sure to spread it out in a single layer. Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes. It's important to shake the basket halfway through cooking. This will help it crisp up nicely on all sides. The chicken is done when it looks golden and crispy. While the chicken cooks, lay out your tortillas. On each tortilla, add a layer of shredded lettuce. Next, place the cooked buffalo chicken on top. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and add halved cherry tomatoes. If you like, drizzle blue cheese dressing over the top. This adds a creamy touch to your wraps. Now, tightly roll each tortilla. Fold in the sides as you roll from the bottom. This keeps all the tasty filling inside. To crisp them up, return the wrapped tortillas to the air fryer. Cook them at 380°F (193°C) for 4-5 minutes. You'll know they are ready when they look golden and crunchy. After cooking, slice them in half diagonally for a nice presentation. For great buffalo flavor, select a good buffalo sauce. I like to use Frank's RedHot sauce for its tangy kick. If you want to make your own, mix hot sauce with melted butter and a squeeze of lemon. When seasoning the chicken, use garlic powder and paprika. They add depth. Don't forget to sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. This boosts the overall flavor. To wrap your tortillas correctly, place the filling in the center. Fold in the sides first, then roll it tightly. This helps keep everything inside. For the air fryer, set it to 380°F (193°C) for both cooking the chicken and the wraps. This temperature achieves a nice, crispy exterior. Serve your wraps on a large platter for sharing. Add extra buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing on the side. This gives your guests options. For a pop of color, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. This simple touch makes your dish look even more appealing. {{image_2}} You can switch up the proteins in this recipe. Instead of chicken, try turkey or shrimp. These options cook well and taste great with buffalo sauce. You can also change the cheese. Use cheddar, pepper jack, or even a dairy-free cheese. Different dressings can add unique flavors too, like ranch or a spicy aioli. To amp up the taste, add spices or herbs. Try cumin, cayenne, or fresh cilantro for a twist. Adjust the heat to your liking. If you prefer milder flavors, reduce the buffalo sauce. For more spice, add extra sauce or some hot pepper flakes. For gluten-free wraps, use corn tortillas. They taste great and hold the filling well. If you want a vegan option, swap out chicken for chickpeas or tofu. Use vegan cheese to keep it plant-based. These options let you enjoy buffalo chicken wraps no matter your diet. To keep your wraps fresh, store them in an airtight container. Place parchment paper between layers if you stack them. This helps to keep them from sticking together. You can keep them in the fridge for about 3 days. After that, they may lose flavor and texture. For the best taste, reheat your wraps in the air fryer. Set it to 380°F (193°C) for 4 to 5 minutes. This keeps the wraps crispy. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can use a microwave. Heat them for about 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, you can use an oven. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C) and heat for about 10 minutes. Enjoy your tasty leftovers! Yes, you can make these wraps ahead. To prep, cook the chicken fully and let it cool. Then, wrap the chicken in tortillas and store in the fridge. Use airtight bags or containers. They stay fresh for about 3 days. When ready to eat, just crisp them in the air fryer for a few minutes. Making buffalo sauce at home is easy. Here’s a quick recipe: - 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot) - 1/2 cup melted butter - 1 tablespoon vinegar - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder - Salt to taste Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Adjust spice level by adding more hot sauce or butter to get the taste you like. These wraps pair well with many sides. Try: - Celery sticks with ranch - Carrot sticks with hummus - Sweet potato fries - A simple green salad These sides add crunch and freshness to your meal. Yes, they can be healthy. Each wrap has lean protein from chicken and fiber from whole wheat tortillas. You can make them even healthier by: - Using less cheese - Swapping blue cheese for yogurt dressing - Adding more veggies like spinach or peppers This way, you keep the taste but cut some calories. You can use frozen chicken, but you need to adjust cooking time. Cook the frozen chicken at 380°F for about 18-20 minutes. Make sure to check that the chicken is fully cooked before using it in the wraps. This method saves time and is still delicious. You learned how to make tasty Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wraps.

Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts, cubed

1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup lettuce, shredded

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Optional: 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, mix the cubed chicken with olive oil, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until the chicken is evenly coated.

    Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

      Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a crispy outer layer.

        While the chicken is cooking, prepare the wraps. Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface.

          Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce, cooked buffalo chicken, shredded mozzarella, and halved cherry tomatoes onto each tortilla.

            If desired, drizzle a little blue cheese dressing over the toppings.

              Tightly wrap each tortilla, folding in the sides as you roll it up from the bottom.

                To make the wraps crispy, return the wrapped tortillas to the air fryer and cook at 380°F (193°C) for an additional 4-5 minutes, until they are golden and crunchy.

                  Remove the wraps from the air fryer and slice them in half diagonally for presentation.
