Key Ingredients & Their Roles
- Chicken: Provides the main protein; swap with turkey for a different twist.
- Deli Ham: Adds savory richness and depth of flavor.
- Swiss Cheese: Melts beautifully, creating that irresistible gooey texture.
- Mayonnaise: Merges flavors and keeps the wrap moist; consider Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu Wraps
- In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined, creating a creamy base.
- Carefully slice each tortilla from the bottom to the center, dividing it into four sections for easy folding.
- Spread the mayo-mustard mix over two of the sections, layering cooked chicken on top.
- Layer ham and Swiss cheese on the remaining sections, trimming them if necessary to fit.
- Fold the tortilla starting from the bottom left, wrapping over the top left, then folding over the top right, and finally folding down the bottom to securely enclose the filling.
- Brush olive oil onto the wraps to ensure they crisp nicely, placing them in the air fryer and cooking at 400°F for 4 to 6 minutes until golden and crunchy.
Pro Tips & Troubleshooting
- When cutting the tortillas, ensure not to cut all the way through for better wrapping.
- If your wraps start to unroll during cooking, a toothpick can hold them together temporarily.
- Experiment with different types of cheese; Gruyere also works wonderfully if you crave a bit more flavor.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or halved according to your needs.
Storage & Make-Ahead Guide
Store leftover wraps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze them, wrap individually in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for about 5 minutes for a fresh-out-of-the fryer taste. In my tests, freezing did change the texture slightly, but they still tasted delicious!
