How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Ham & Cheese Wraps

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

  • Lay out a tortilla.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayo or cream cheese (if using).
  • Add a layer of shredded chicken, then ham, and finally cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.

Step 3: Cook in Air Fryer

  • Place 2 wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
  • Lightly spray the tops with oil.
  • Air fry for 7–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Slice in half and serve warm. The cheese should be melted and deliciously gooey.

What to Serve With These Wraps

  • A light salad with balsamic vinaigrette
  • Sweet potato fries or roasted veggies
  • Tomato soup or chicken noodle soup
  • Pickles or a tangy slaw for contrast

Tips for Perfect Wraps

  • Don’t overfill — they’ll burst open.
  • Use toothpicks to secure edges if needed (remove before serving!).
  • For extra melty goodness, add a bit of cream cheese or Swiss cheese inside.
  • Use parchment paper or a reusable air fryer liner for easy cleanup.

How to Store & Reheat

Storage:
Wrap leftovers in foil or place in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 3 days.

To Reheat:
Pop back in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–5 minutes or until hot and crispy again.
