Ingredients
8–10 crispy chicken nuggets
2 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced or sliced
2 tablespoons ranch dressing or spicy mayo
1 tablespoon butter or oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Pickles or jalapeños
Sliced avocado
Red onions or cucumbers
Hot sauce or BBQ drizzle
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer or oven and cook the chicken nuggets until golden brown and crispy.
2. Lightly warm each tortilla for 15–20 seconds to make them flexible and prevent tearing.
3. Prepare your fresh ingredients: shred the lettuce, slice or dice the tomato, and grate the cheese.
4. Lay a tortilla flat, spread the dressing, and layer lettuce, tomato, and crispy nuggets across the center.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the warm nuggets so it starts to melt.
6. Fold the sides inward and roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to enclose the fillings.
7. (Optional) Toast the wrap in a skillet with butter or oil until both sides are golden and the cheese melts fully.
8. Let the wrap rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice in half and serve immediately with your favorite dip.
Notes
Always warm the tortilla before assembling to prevent it from cracking while rolling.
For maximum crispiness, avoid overfilling the wrap or using too many wet ingredients.
Toasting the wrap in a skillet not only seals it shut but also adds crunch and helps melt the cheese perfectly.
