Why This Recipe Is a Great Choice

These wraps balance convenience with comfort in a way that feels a little special. The filling comes together in one bowl and needs no fancy prep—just shred, season, mix, and roll. Using the air fryer gives you that restaurant-style crunch without deep frying, keeping cleanup quick and hands fairly oil-free. If you’re serving a crowd, they’re easy to scale up and stay crisp when reheated briefly in the air fryer.

Flavor and Texture

Inside these wraps you get creamy, cheesy pockets studded with seasoned chicken and a gentle hit of oregano and paprika. The cream cheese melts into the mozzarella for a luscious, gooey interior while the breadcrumbs and Parmesan create a bronzed, crunchy exterior. Each bite contrasts soft and crisp textures, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley brings a bright, herbaceous lift. The spices are mild and crowd-friendly, so it’s easy to dial heat up or down to suit your taste.

Ingredients

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
4 large flour tortillas (or egg roll wrappers for extra crispiness)
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-seasoned or plain)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking spray or olive oil (for air frying)

Step by Step Instructions

In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well.
Lay out the tortillas or wrappers and place some filling on each. Roll them up tightly, sealing the edges with the beaten egg.
Dip each roll in breadcrumbs and place them in the air fryer basket.
Spray lightly with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve warm.

Tips for Best Results

For extra crispiness, use egg roll wrappers instead of flour tortillas and roll them snugly so the filling won’t leak. Don’t overfill each wrap; a compact roll crisps more evenly and holds its shape during cooking. If your air fryer basket is crowded, cook in batches so hot air circulates and delivers uniform color. Brush or spray lightly rather than soaking the rolls in oil to avoid sogginess. A quick squeeze of lemon or a spoonful of tangy salsa alongside brightens the richness when serving.

Storage and Make Ahead

These wraps hold well in the refrigerator for one to three days when stored in an airtight container. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to restore crunch. You can assemble and bread the rolls ahead of time, then refrigerate them on a tray until ready to cook. For freezing, place them on a sheet to flash-freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag; reheat from frozen in the air fryer, adding a couple extra minutes.

Final Thought

Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Mozzarella Wraps are an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe that feels both comforting and polished. They’re perfect for busy evenings, appetizer platters, or portable lunches that taste fresh and indulgent. With minimal prep and the magic of the air fryer, these wraps become an instant favorite.
