Air Fryer Chicken Wrap with Parmesan-Mayo, Avocado, and Roasted Peppers
My air fryer chicken wraps are great for a family lunch. Each wrap contains air-fried chicken breast coated in garlic and herbs, with parmesan mayo, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Serve them with fries, air-fryer parmesan potatoes, or rosemary potato wedges for a hearty dish, or wrap them up and take them to go for lunch.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these wraps, assemble the following ingredients:
- Chicken – 2 large chicken breasts (1 lb or 450 grams)
- Tortillas/Brioche Tortillas – 4 plain flour tortillas or brioche tortillas
- Parmesan – 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- Mayo – 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Garlic Powder – 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Italian Seasoning – 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- Roasted Peppers – 2 large roasted peppers (jarred or homemade)
- Avocado – 1 large avocado or 2 medium
- Romaine Lettuce – 1 romaine heart
- Salt – a pinch of kosher salt
- Pepper – a pinch of ground black pepper
Recipe Instructions (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 – Halve the chicken breasts lengthwise and then flatten them to make them relatively even thickness-wise.
You can flatten them by covering them with some cling film/plastic wrap and then use a mallet, rolling pin, or any heavy pan with a handle to pound them.
This will help ensure the chicken cooks evenly (as it’s about the same thickness) and faster without overcooking (since it’s now thinner).
Step 2 – Season the chicken breast with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the parmesan. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil, and cover the chicken in the oil and seasonings, ensuring everything sticks to the chicken breast.
Step 3 – Preheat the air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 4 – Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in one layer, and air fry them at 380°F (190°C) until the chicken is fully cooked (when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (or 74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer), flipping the chicken halfway.
For the thickness you see in the photos, it took 13 minutes air frying time at 380°F (190°C), flipping them after about 6-7 minutes. The total time will depend on your air fryer and on how thick the chicken breasts are! I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 5 – Set up your assembly board (air-fried, cooked chicken breasts, tortilla or brioche tortilla wraps, halved and sliced avocado, chopped roasted peppers, chopped lettuce, and mayo mixed with half the parmesan.
Step 6 – Assemble the wraps. First, add 1/4 avocado (sliced or mashed), half a chopped roasted pepper, sliced air-fried chicken breast, parmesan-mayo, and chopped lettuce. Roll the wraps.
Step 7 – Air fry the wraps at 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes, flipping halfway through. This will ensure you have a warm wrap that’s slightly crispy on the outside.
Serve them halved or whole on a platter. Everyone can grab one for their plate, or take it to eat on the go.
Some Serving Ideas
Fancy a tasty side to go with these tender, creamy wraps? I’ve got some suggestions for you!
A delicious combination I tried the other day was these wraps with a side of my air fryer parmesan baby potatoes. My air fryer has two compartments, so I was able to make both of these at the same time.
Salads typically go well with wraps, so give my Romaine lettuce salad or my tomato, feta, and mint salad a try for something lighter.
