I just served Air Fryer Tortilla Wraps that are impossibly crispy outside with molten Swiss and salty Black Forest ham inside, and I’m not sorry about hiding them from everyone.
I’m obsessed with these Air Fryer Tortilla Wraps because they hit every snack craving I have. I love the crunch and the melty Swiss with Black Forest chicken ham.
The tang of Dijon mustard pulls it together. But it’s the promise of Crispy Wraps straight from the basket that gets me every time.
I’ll eat them for lunch, late-night trash food, or when guests show up and I don’t feel like pretending. Simple, loud flavors.
Greasy in the best way. And messy is part of the deal.
No boring sandwiches here. Try one and you’ll understand why I keep making

Ingredient Quantities
- 8 flour tortillas, 8 inch (soft taco size)
- 8 slices Black Forest chicken ham (about 6 to 8 oz total)
- 8 slices Swiss cheese (about 6 to 8 oz total)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (more if you like it tangy)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil for brushing
- 1 large egg, beaten (optional for a golden finish)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray or a little extra oil for the air fryer basket
- Fresh parsley or chopped scallions for garnish, optional
How to Make this
1. Preheat your air fryer to 375 F for about 3 to 5 minutes so it’s hot and ready.
2. Lay out one flour tortilla, spread about 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard in the center, leaving a little border so it doesn’t ooze out when cooking.
3. Place one slice of Black Forest chicken ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the mustard. Sprinkle a light pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt and black pepper over the cheese for extra flavor.
4. Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge into a snug wrap, tucking the sides in as you go to keep the filling from falling out. If a tortilla feels too loose, dampen the edge with a little water to seal, or use a toothpick to secure the seam.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all 8 tortillas, then set them seam-side down on a plate. If you want extra golden color, brush each wrap with melted butter or olive oil; for a shinier, more bakery-like finish, brush with beaten egg instead or on top of the butter.
6. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or rub with a little oil so the wraps won’t stick. Place wraps in a single layer seam-side down, making sure they don’t touch. Work in batches if needed so they crisp evenly.
7. Air fry at 375 F for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cooking time can vary by air fryer model so keep an eye on them after 5 minutes.
8. Remove wraps carefully, transfer to a wire rack or plate and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes so they set up and you don’t burn your mouth.
9. If you used toothpicks, pull them out now. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or scallions for color and a fresh bite.
10. Serve warm with extra Dijon, pickles, or your fave dipping sauce. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2 days and reheat great in the air fryer 2 to 3 minutes for that crisp texture.
Equipment Needed
1. Air fryer (obviously, preheat it to 375 F so it’s ready)
2. Pastry brush or small silicone brush for butter/oil or egg wash
3. Tongs or a spatula to flip the wraps while cooking
4. Small bowl and spoon for the Dijon, beaten egg or melted butter
5. Measuring spoons for the mustard and spices
6. Plate or tray to hold rolled wraps before cooking
7. Wire rack or cooling rack to rest the wraps after frying
8. Toothpicks and a little nonstick cooking spray or oil for the basket
FAQ
Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham And Cheese Wraps Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Tortillas: use flour wraps of a different size, large burrito tortillas, or soft pita pockets for a different fold. Corn tortillas will work but they might tear more easily.
- Black Forest chicken ham: swap for smoked turkey slices, regular deli ham, or thin roast beef if you want richer flavor. Turkey keeps it lighter.
- Swiss cheese: try provolone, mild cheddar, or mozzarella. Provolone melts like a dream and cheddar adds a sharper bite.
- Dijon mustard: honey mustard, mayo mixed with a little lemon, or spicy brown mustard are good stand ins. Use more or less to suit your taste.
Pro Tips
1. Warm the tortillas briefly before rolling them so they bend without cracking. A few seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel or a quick toss in a hot dry skillet makes them pliable and keeps the seam tight when you roll. Don’t overdo it tho or they get soggy.
2. Use a thin even layer of mustard and press the filling snugly as you roll. That way you avoid pockets of air that blow the wrap open in the air fryer. If one seems loose, dampen the edge with a tiny bit of water and pinch it shut or tuck it under tightly.
3. Brush with melted butter for flavor, or use the beaten egg if you want a glossy, bakery look. If you want extra crispness, brush both sides very lightly and give them a minute or two extra in the air fryer, watching closely so they dont burn.
4. Don’t overcrowd the basket. Air fryers need space to circulate hot air for even browning. Work in batches and keep cooked wraps on a wire rack so they stay crisp instead of steaming on a plate.
