Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for drizzling)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into thin strips. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

    Marinate: In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with the buffalo sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.

        Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Air fry the chicken for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. The chicken should be golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

          Assemble the Wraps: While the chicken is cooking, lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. In the center of each tortilla, layer a handful of shredded lettuce, a scoop of diced tomatoes, and a generous portion of the cooked buffalo chicken. Top with shredded cheese and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up to encase the fillings securely. You may secure the wraps with toothpicks if needed.

              Final Crisping (Optional): For an extra crisp, return the assembled wraps to the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.

                Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer, slice them in half, and drizzle additional buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
