Ingredients for Air Fryer Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wraps

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• ½ cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot or your favorite)
• ¼ cup cream cheese or ranch dressing (for a creamy twist)
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for a smoother sauce)
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
• Nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray

Step 1: Prep the Chicken and Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, cream cheese (or ranch), and melted butter. Stir everything together until the chicken is fully coated and the mixture is creamy and evenly mixed. If using cheese, fold it in now for extra gooey texture.

Step 2: Fill the Wraps

Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon an even amount of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll them up tightly burrito-style to hold all that spicy filling inside.

Step 3: Air Fry to Toasted Perfection

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes. Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with cooking spray or brush with a bit of olive oil. Place 2 wraps at a time (depending on the size of your air fryer basket) seam-side down. Air fry for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortillas are golden and lightly crisped.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once done, remove the wraps and let them rest for a minute before slicing. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing, extra buffalo sauce, or a side of crunchy celery and carrot sticks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How spicy are these wraps?

The heat level depends on the buffalo sauce you use. For less spice, mix in a bit more cream cheese or opt for a milder buffalo sauce.

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken works great and saves time—just shred and mix with the sauce.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Yes, use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and skip the shredded cheese or use vegan cheese.

What’s the best way to prevent them from unrolling in the air fryer?

Roll them tightly and place seam-side down. You can also use a toothpick to hold them together if needed.

Can I use corn tortillas instead?

Flour tortillas work best for holding in the filling, but you can try corn tortillas if they’re soft and pliable (and smaller wraps).

Is it possible to bake instead of air fry?

Yes! Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10–12 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp.

What can I serve with these wraps?

Serve with a crisp salad, sweet potato fries, or raw veggie sticks for a balanced meal.

Can I prep these ahead of time?

Yes—assemble the wraps and store them in the fridge for up to a day before air frying.
