Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 large tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce

Season the chicken
Toss the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Air fry the chicken
Place the chicken in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Warm the tortillas
Warm the tortillas briefly so they are easier to roll.
Assemble the wraps
Fill each tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber or onion, cheese, and cooked chicken. Add sauce or avocado if desired.
Wrap and serve
Roll tightly and serve immediately, or wrap for meal prep.

Notes

Cut the chicken into even strips for fast, even cooking.
Do not overfill the wraps or they will be harder to roll.
Add sauces just before serving if meal prepping.
You can lightly air fry the assembled wrap for 1 to 2 minutes for a warmer, crispier finish.
