What You'll Learn
Warming the tortilla
Once your tortillas are warm, you can start assembling your wraps. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard onto each tortilla. If you're making ham and cheese wraps, add 2 slices of ham and a slice of cheese to each tortilla. For chicken fajita wraps, sprinkle cheese over the tortilla and add sliced chicken, peppers, lettuce, avocado, and tomato.
Now it's time to roll your tortillas. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly, like a burrito. Make sure the seam is facing downwards when you place it in the air fryer to prevent it from unrolling.
If you're making multiple wraps, you can assemble them all before cooking or cook them in batches.

Assembling the wrap
To assemble a wrap, start by placing a tortilla on a clean, microwave-safe surface. Warm the tortilla in the microwave by placing a damp paper towel over it and heating it for 20-30 seconds. This will make the tortilla easier to fold without cracking.
Next, spread a thin layer of your chosen condiment onto the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch edge free of sauce. You could use mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, or a combination of both. Alternatively, spread a thin layer of mustard and add a sprinkle of pepperoni for a spicy kick.
For a ham and cheese wrap, add 2 slices of ham and a slice of cheese. If you're making a chicken fajita wrap, sprinkle cheese over the tortilla, followed by sliced chicken, peppers, lettuce, avocado, and tomato. You can also add scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage for a breakfast wrap.
Now it's time to roll! Fold the sides of the tortilla in and tightly roll it up like a burrito, ensuring the seam is facing downwards. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
Finally, brush the top of the wrap with melted butter for a golden, crispy finish. This step can be omitted if you prefer a lighter, softer wrap.

Cooking time and temperature
The cooking temperature and time for wraps in an air fryer depend on the type of wrap and the specific air fryer model being used. Here is a detailed guide:
For hot ham and cheese wraps, preheat your air fryer to 380°F (or 360°F if reheating) and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. If you're working with frozen wraps, reduce the temperature to 365°F and increase the cooking time by about 3 minutes.
When making breakfast wraps with eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheese, a temperature of 180°C (around 356°F) is recommended for about 5 minutes.
Chicken fajita wraps, on the other hand, require a higher temperature of 400°F. Toast the wraps for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are golden and toasted.
It's important to note that different air fryer models may require slight adjustments to temperature and timing. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for your specific air fryer model. Additionally, it's a good idea to keep an eye on your wraps during the cooking process to prevent overcooking or burning.
Lastly, when cooking multiple wraps, you may need to work in batches to ensure even cooking. Allow the air fryer to regain its temperature before cooking the next batch.

Cutting and serving
Once your wraps are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool down. They will be hot! It is important to let them cool so you don't burn yourself when handling them.
After a few minutes, transfer the wraps to a cutting board. You can cut them in half, or diagonally, depending on your preference. If you want to get creative, you could cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces, perfect for sharing.
Use a sharp knife to cut through the wrap and its filling. You may need to wipe the knife after each cut to avoid any mess. Cut with precision and be mindful of the hot filling.
Serve the wraps immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh, so it is not advisable to let them sit around for too long. You can serve them on a platter or individually on plates. Enjoy!

Reheating and storing
If you're reheating a wrap, preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and heat for 1-2 minutes. You can also reheat wraps in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and warm the wraps for 3-5 minutes.
To store wraps for later, you can assemble the wraps and wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. These can be stored in the fridge for a day before cooking. You can also freeze assembled wraps and then air fry them from frozen. Increase the cooking time by about 3 minutes and reduce the temperature to 365 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you're storing cooked wraps, let them cool down before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
