# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, get that air fryer preheating to 375°F (190°C). This is key for even crispiness; I used to skip this, and my wraps were always a bit sad and unevenly cooked. While it heats, lay out your tortillas. A little assembly line makes this whole process so much smoother, honestly, especially if you're making a few. I usually have all my ingredients prepped and ready to go before I even touch a tortilla.
02 -
Now for the fun part! On each tortilla, layer a slice of provolone, then a few slices of ham, salami, and pepperoni. Don't go overboard here; I learned the hard way that overfilling leads to cheese explosions and wraps that refuse to seal. A nice, even layer is what you're aiming for. Spread your ingredients right to the edges, but leave a small border for folding later. It's like building a tiny, edible skyscraper!
03 -
Next, scatter some thinly sliced red onion and banana peppers over the meats. These fresh, tangy bits are what really elevate these Hot Italian Wraps, cutting through the richness. Then, a little drizzle of Italian dressing. Not too much! Just enough to moisten things and add a flavor punch. Too much dressing and you'll have a soggy mess, which I've definitely done before, oops!
04 -
Time to get folding! Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, like you're making a burrito. Make sure it’s snug so nothing falls out while cooking. I always try to tuck everything in really well, otherwise, you might get some rogue pepperoni trying to escape in the air fryer. If you're struggling, a little dab of water on the edge can help seal it.
05 -
Carefully place your rolled wraps, seam-side down, in the preheated air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd the basket; I usually do two at a time to ensure they get perfectly crispy. Overcrowding just steams them, and we want crisp! Cook for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. You'll start to smell that incredible aroma of toasted tortilla and melty cheese, honestly, it's the best part!
06 -
Once they're golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and gooey, carefully remove the Hot Italian Wraps from the basket. Let them cool for just a minute or two – that cheese is molten lava, trust me! Slice them in half diagonally for a pretty presentation and easier eating. They're amazing on their own, but a little side of marinara for dipping? Chef's kiss! Enjoy your quick, delicious creation!
# Notes:
01 -
Always preheat your air fryer for even crispiness, trust me on this!
02 -
These wraps are best fresh, but leftovers can be reheated gently in the air fryer.
03 -
No provolone? Mozzarella works, or even a sharp cheddar for a different vibe.
04 -
Serving with a side of marinara for dipping is a total game-changer, honestly.
