Air Fryer Hot Chicken, Ham and Cheese Wraps – Crispy, Melty & Irresistible
If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying meal that feels indulgent but is easy to make, these Air Fryer Hot Chicken, Ham and Cheese Wraps are exactly what you need. They combine juicy chicken, smoky ham, and gooey melted cheese all wrapped in a soft tortilla and crisped to perfection in the air fryer.
Why You’ll Love These Air Fryer Wraps
These wraps are everything comfort food should be. They’re hot, cheesy, and loaded with protein, yet they feel lighter than traditional fried wraps. The combination of chicken and ham gives depth and heartiness, while the melted cheese ties everything together into one rich, savory bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup (150 g) sliced ham, chopped
- 1 ½ cups (170 g) shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
How to Make Air Fryer Hot Chicken, Ham and Cheese Wraps
Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This helps the wraps cook evenly and become crispy on the outside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped ham, shredded cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling into the center, spreading it slightly but leaving space around the edges.
Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Lightly brush the outside of each wrap with olive oil or melted butter. This helps them turn golden and crisp in the air fryer.
Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd. Cook in batches if needed.
Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps hot and fresh with your favorite dipping sauces. Ranch, garlic mayo, honey mustard, or spicy sriracha sauce all work beautifully. Add a simple salad, fries, or coleslaw on the side for a complete meal.
Tips for Perfect Wraps
Use warm tortillas so they don’t crack when rolling. Don’t overfill the wraps, and always place them seam-side down in the air fryer so they stay closed while cooking.
Make It Your Own
You can easily customize these wraps. Add sautéed onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or even jalapeños for heat. Swap mozzarella for pepper jack or Swiss for a different flavor profile.
