Common Questions About This Recipe

→ How do I keep the wraps from unraveling in the air fryer?

Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the basket. Warming tortillas first helps create a secure fold.

→ Can I substitute another cheese for Swiss?

Yes, try provolone, cheddar, or mozzarella for a different taste and the same melty texture.

→ What's the best way to serve these wraps?

Slice diagonally and serve hot so the cheese stays gooey inside. Pair with a simple salad or cut into pinwheels for appetizers.

→ Can I make these without an air fryer?

Absolutely—you can bake them in a 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden.

→ How can I make the wraps spicier?

Add a dash of hot sauce inside before rolling, or sprinkle chili flakes on the buttered tops before air frying.
