- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes, if desired.
Notes
Don't overcrowd the air fryer for crispy tortillas. Use quality mozzarella for best flavor. Don't overfill the wraps to prevent leaks. Adjust cooking time as needed based on your air fryer. For extra crispy tortillas, lightly spray with olive oil before air frying. Sautéed onions, bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms can be added for extra flavor. Provolone, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack cheese are good substitutes for mozzarella. Try pesto, BBQ sauce, or a creamy garlic sauce instead of marinara. Cooked wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer or microwave.
