Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham and Cheese Wraps are a satisfying, protein-packed twist on traditional sandwiches. With their crispy shell and gooey center, they deliver on both flavor and texture—all with the help of your air fryer.
They feature tender shredded chicken, smoky ham, and melty cheddar cheese all wrapped in a golden tortilla. It’s similar in flavor structure to this hearty chicken, ham, and cheese combination casserole but in an easier, handheld format.
Air frying allows you to enjoy the crispness of grilled or panini-style wraps with far less oil. It’s also perfect for reheating leftovers without sacrificing texture. If you’re looking to balance richness, consider serving them with some buttery cheesy side dishes for wraps.

The Ultimate Guide to Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham and Cheese Wraps
Description
These wraps are a quick and satisfying meal, featuring tender chicken ham, creamy Swiss cheese, and a touch of tangy Dijon mustard. Cooked in the air fryer, they achieve a perfectly golden and crispy exterior in just five minutes.
Ingredients
-
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
-
8 slices Black Forest chicken ham
-
4 slices Swiss cheese
-
Mayonnaise, to taste
-
Dijon mustard, to taste
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
-
Warm the Tortillas: Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20–30 seconds until pliable but not hot. This prevents cracking when rolling.
-
Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and allow it to preheat while assembling the wraps.
-
Spread Condiments: Evenly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise followed by Dijon mustard across each tortilla, reaching the edges for full flavor.
-
Layer Fillings: Place two slices of chicken ham slightly overlapping in the center of each tortilla. Top with a slice of Swiss cheese, positioning them to cover about two-thirds of the tortilla, leaving space for folding.
-
Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up, keeping the roll tight to seal in the ingredients
-
Apply Butter: Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the outside of each wrap with melted butter. This step ensures a golden brown exterior and enhances flavor.
-
-
Air Fry: Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 5 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even browning
-
Rest and Serve: Allow the wraps to cool for 2 minutes before slicing. This resting period helps the cheese set slightly, preventing it from oozing out when cut.
💡 Tips & Variations
-
Cheese Alternatives: Provolone or cheddar can be used in place of Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
-
Add Veggies: Include sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach for added nutrition and taste.
-
Make Ahead: Assemble the wraps ahead of time and refrigerate. Air fry when ready to serve.
-
Oven Option: If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the wraps in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Enjoy these crispy and flavorful wraps as a quick lunch, dinner, or snack option!
