Ingredients

Wraps & Filling

2 large tortillas (regular or low‑carb/high‑protein)
200 g cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
1 tsp minced fresh garlic
2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
1 Tbsp light Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
2 tsp hot sauce (e.g. Frank’s)
¼ tsp salt
90 g shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for layering)
1 green onion, chopped
olive oil spray or light butter for crisping in air fryer

Instructions

In a bowl, mix chicken, garlic, mayonnaise, yogurt, hot sauce, and salt until combined.
Lay out a tortilla, sprinkle a layer of cheese, top with ⅔ cup of chicken mix, then more cheese and green onion.
Fold in sides and roll up tightly into a wrap.
Preheat air fryer to 375 °F (190 °C). Spray wraps lightly with oil or brush with melted butter.
Air-fry wraps seam-side down for about 6–8 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
Remove and let rest 1 minute, slice in half and serve warm.

Notes

You can also pan‑fry the wraps in oil or butter for 3–4 minutes per side with a lid to melt the cheese. Prep filling ahead and store for a few days. Reheat in air fryer to restore crispness. Optionally add spinach, jalapeños, or use different cheeses. Air‑fryer method yields golden, crispy wrap in just 6–8 minutes.
