When time is tight and you're craving something warm, crispy, and filled with gooey cheese, these Air Fryer Hot Chicken Ham and Cheese Wraps are just the answer. They bring together savory deli-style chicken ham, melty Swiss cheese, and a tangy spread, all tucked into a soft tortilla and crisped to perfection. Whether it's lunch on the go or a quick dinner, this wrap delivers big on flavor with minimal effort—and thanks to the air fryer, it comes out golden and satisfying without needing much oil.

The first time I made these, I had leftover chicken ham in the fridge and wasn’t sure what to do with it. A few tortillas, some cheese, and the air fryer saved dinner—and my kids asked for seconds. Now it’s part of our regular meal rotation.

Essential Ingredients and Why They Matter

  • Tortillas: Use soft, burrito-sized tortillas that are easy to roll and crisp up nicely. I prefer flour tortillas for that golden crunch.
  • Chicken Ham: A leaner option than traditional ham, but still packed with smoky, savory flavor. Sliced thin, it layers beautifully without making the wrap bulky.
  • Swiss Cheese: Melts smoothly and has that nutty edge. Mozzarella or cheddar can work too, depending on your flavor mood.
  • Mayonnaise and Dijon Mustard: This duo adds creaminess and a hint of tang—like a warm deli sandwich in wrap form.
  • Butter: Brushed on the outside for a golden finish in the air fryer.

I’ve also tried it with honey mustard or garlic aioli for a twist, and it never disappoints.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Warm the Tortillas
To keep them pliable and avoid cracking, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds. This step makes rolling them much easier.
Step 2: Assemble Your Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a light layer of mayonnaise and a small amount of Dijon mustard across the center. Layer on two slices of chicken ham and one slice of Swiss cheese. Tuck in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
Step 3: Brush with Butter
Melt a tablespoon of butter and lightly brush the outside of each wrap. This will help it crisp up and turn golden in the air fryer.
Step 4: Air Fry
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place the wraps seam-side down in the basket, leaving space between them. Air fry for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and heated through.
Step 5: Serve and Slice
Let the wraps cool slightly, then slice diagonally for easy handling and presentation. Serve with a side of greens, a dipping sauce, or air-fried veggies.

Personally, I love how the Dijon gives just enough zing to make it feel like something special, even though it’s so simple to prepare. My teenage son adds jalapeños for an extra kick—so easy to customize.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

Pair your wraps with a crisp side salad or roasted veggie fries. A dipping sauce like honey mustard or chipotle mayo adds even more personality to each bite. For a fuller meal, serve with soup like creamy tomato or chicken noodle.

Make-Ahead, Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Make-Ahead: Assemble wraps up to 24 hours in advance, then cook fresh.
  • Storage: Keep leftover cooked wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Air fry at 350°F for 5 minutes. They come out just as crisp as day one.
