Spicy, cheesy, and perfectly crisp, they make a great weeknight dinner, lunch, or even a game-day snack.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 large flour tortillas
2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded or diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons ranch dressing

Directions

I mix the chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl until everything is well combined.
I lay out the tortillas and spoon the mixture evenly into the center of each one.
I fold the sides in, then roll them up tightly to form wraps.
I place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
I cook them at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortillas are golden and crisp.
I let them cool slightly before serving so the cheese sets inside.

Variations

I sometimes swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor. If I want extra veggies, I add sliced bell peppers or spinach inside the wrap. For a milder version, I reduce the hot sauce and add more ranch. I’ve also tried using whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a lighter option.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop them back into the air fryer for 3–4 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to restore their crispiness. I don’t recommend microwaving since the tortillas can turn soggy. Air Fryer Hot Chicken and Cheese Wraps
