1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Wrap Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry using paper towels. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper if using, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly. Marinate for 15 to 30 minutes if you have time, to enhance the flavor.
Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Arrange the marinated chicken cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket; if needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry the chicken for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even browning. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Prepare the Wraps: Warm the flour tortillas using a dry skillet over medium heat, microwave for about 30 seconds on each side, or briefly in the air fryer until soft and pliable, which makes folding easier and enhances flavor.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay one warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing evenly across the tortilla. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the dressing. Add the air-fried chicken cubes, crumbled cooked bacon, and chopped green onions on top.
Fold the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll firmly from the bottom up to create a tight wrap that holds all the ingredients together.
(Optional) Air Fry the Assembled Wraps: Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 2 to 3 minutes or until the tortilla is lightly golden brown and the cheese inside has melted to a gooey texture.
Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and cut each in half diagonally. Serve immediately with optional toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

Marinating the chicken is optional but recommended for deeper flavor.
Cook the chicken in batches if your air fryer basket is not large enough to avoid overcrowding, which helps the chicken cook evenly and become crispy.
If you prefer a spicier wrap, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add some hot sauce to the dressing.
For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
Use cooked bacon that has been drained well to avoid excess grease inside the wrap.
Leftover chicken and wraps can be refrigerated and reheated in the air fryer for best texture.
