Ingredients
Makes 4 wraps
4 (8-inch) tortillas (flour tortillas work best)
8 slices Black Forest chicken ham (or regular deli ham)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon butter, melted
4 slices Swiss cheese
Step-by-Step Instructions
Air Fryer Instructions:
Step 1: Warm the Tortillas
Place tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm.
💡 Why? Warm tortillas are more pliable and easier to roll without cracking!
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and set the timer for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Spread the Condiments
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard onto each tortilla, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
Step 4: Add Fillings
Add to each tortilla:
2 slices of chicken ham
1 slice of Swiss cheese
Step 5: Roll the Wraps
Roll each tortilla up like a burrito by:
Folding the sides in
Tightly rolling from bottom to top
💡 Tight rolling prevents ingredients from falling out!
Step 6: Brush with Butter
Brush the tops of each wrap with melted butter.
Step 7: Air Fry
Place the wraps into the air fryer seam side down (this helps them stay closed).
Cook for 5 minutes until golden brown. Check on them halfway through.
Step 8: Serve
Remove wraps from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
Cut them in half or diagonally and enjoy!
Oven Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Step 2: Assemble
Follow the same steps for:
Warming the tortillas
Spreading mayonnaise and mustard
Adding chicken ham and cheese
Rolling tightly
Step 3: Brush and Bake
Brush with melted butter and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
Let cool slightly, cut in half, and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Wraps
💡 Warm the tortillas – Prevents cracking when rolling
💡 Don't overfill – Makes rolling difficult and can cause leaks
💡 Seam side down – Keeps wraps closed during cooking
💡 Brush with butter – Creates that golden, crispy exterior
💡 Don't skip preheating – Ensures even cooking
💡 Let them cool slightly – Cheese is very hot when first removed
💡 Use fresh tortillas – Old ones crack easily
