Ingredients (Makes 4 wraps):
- 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas , fresh and pliable
- 8 slices Black Forest chicken ham (2 per wrap)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions:
Step 1: Warm the Tortillas
Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel .
Microwave for 20–30 seconds until soft and pliable but not hot. This prevents cracking when rolling.
Step 2: Preheat Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you assemble the wraps.
A preheated air fryer ensures even browning and a crisp exterior.
Step 3: Spread Condiments
Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the entire surface.
Add a layer of Dijon mustard on top, spreading all the way to the edges for flavor in every bite.
Step 4: Layer Proteins and Cheese
Place 2 slices of chicken ham slightly overlapping in the center of each tortilla.
Top each with 1 slice of Swiss cheese , positioning everything to cover about two-thirds of the tortilla, leaving space at the edges for folding.
Step 5: Roll the Wraps
Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward first.
Then roll tightly from the bottom up, keeping the fillings secure inside. The tighter the roll, the better it will hold together during cooking.
Step 6: Brush with Butter
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the outside of each wrap with melted butter .
This helps create a gorgeous golden-brown color and enhances flavor.
Step 7: Air Fry
Place the wraps seam side down in the air fryer basket. Leave a little space between them for airflow.
Cook for 5 minutes , flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8: Rest and Serve
Let the wraps rest for 2 minutes before slicing. This allows the cheese to set slightly so it doesn’t ooze out when cut.
Slice diagonally and serve warm.
Tips for Success:
- 🥓 Protein Swap: Use turkey, regular ham, or grilled chicken instead of Black Forest ham.
- 🥗 Add Veggies: Add spinach, shredded lettuce, or pickles for extra crunch and freshness.
- 🌶️ Spice It Up: Mix a dash of hot sauce into the mayo for a spicy kick.
- 🔪 Cutting Tip: Use a sharp serrated knife to avoid squishing the wrap.
