Key Ingredients & Their Roles
- Dijon Mustard: Adds tanginess; consider using yellow mustard for a milder flavor.
- Burrito Size Tortillas: A sturdy base for the wraps; whole wheat tortillas can enhance the flavor.
- Cooked Chicken: Provides protein; leftover rotisserie chicken works beautifully.
- Swiss Cheese: Melts wonderfully; feel free to substitute with provolone for a different taste.
How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu Wraps
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of mayo with 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, mixing until well blended.
- Cut each tortilla from the bottom to the center, dividing them into four sections. Spread the mayo-mustard mix on two of the sections. Layer the chicken on top of the spread.
- On the remaining two sections, place the ham and Swiss cheese (cut to fit as needed), ensuring a delicious bite in every section.
- Fold the bottom left section over the top left, then fold that over the top right, finishing with a downward fold. Brush a bit of olive oil on the top and bottom of the wraps before placing them in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400°F for 4 to 6 minutes until crispy and golden.
Pro Tips & Troubleshooting
- While preparing the wraps, make sure each layer is evenly distributed for balanced flavors!
- If the wraps aren’t crisping as desired, try brushing a bit more olive oil or increasing the cooking time by a minute.
- Consider adding sautéed spinach or roasted peppers for a seasonal twist.
- This recipe can easily be doubled; just make sure your air fryer has enough space for the additional wraps.
Storage & Make-Ahead Guide
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. If you plan to enjoy them later, consider reheating in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore their crispiness. After one trial, I found that frozen wraps held up well for up to 3 months; just make sure to reheat them thoroughly.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps shine when paired with a side salad, like my Bright Spring Salad, or some crispy potato wedges. Consider adding some dipping sauces like honey mustard or ranch for an extra touch!
