Instructions

Prepare the chicken mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the hot sauce and melted butter, stirring until all the chicken is evenly coated in the spicy sauce.
Assemble the wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over each tortilla. Divide the hot chicken mixture evenly and place it over the cheese on each tortilla. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, folding in the sides as you roll to secure the filling inside.
Prepare the air fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the wraps seam side down in the basket in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each wrap for air circulation.
Air fry the wraps: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the wraps for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the wraps halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Continue cooking until the wraps are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and the cheese inside is melted.
Serve: Remove the wraps carefully from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping if desired.

Notes

For an even crispier exterior, lightly brush the wraps with a small amount of oil before air frying.
Add sliced jalapeños, onions, or fresh spinach inside the wraps for additional flavor and texture.
These wraps can be made ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator, and reheated in the air fryer for best results.
