# Ingredients:

→ Crunchwrap Core

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
02 - 1 cup turkey ham, diced
03 - 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

→ Creamy Ranch Goodness

04 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
05 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing
06 - 2 scallions, thinly sliced

→ Crispy Outer Layers

07 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
08 - 4 small flour tortillas (6-inch) or 4 tostada shells
09 - 1 tbsp olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, get that filling ready. In a medium bowl, combine your shredded cooked chicken, diced turkey ham, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and those thinly sliced scallions. Give it a good mix until everything is well combined and creamy. I usually use my hands for this part, honestly, it just feels right and ensures everything is evenly distributed. You want it to be a thick, spreadable mixture. This is where the magic starts, smelling all those ranchy goodness notes already!
02 - Lay one large flour tortilla flat on your clean counter. This is your foundation! Spoon about half a cup of your chicken and ham ranch mixture into the center, leaving a good border around the edges. Don't overfill it, or you'll have a hard time folding later – I learned that the hard way, with filling oozing out everywhere during my first attempt, oops! Make sure the filling forms a nice, even layer. This layer is going to be the heart of your Air Fryer Ranch Crunchwrap.
03 - Now for the crunch! Place a small flour tortilla directly on top of the chicken and ham mixture. If you're using a tostada, even better, just pop it right there. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the small tortilla/tostada. This cheese layer is super important; it helps glue everything together and adds that glorious gooey texture when melted. This is where I sometimes get a little heavy-handed with the cheese, but hey, can you blame me?
04 - Time to get folding! Carefully bring the edges of the large tortilla up and over the small tortilla and cheese, folding them towards the center. You'll work your way around, creating pleats as you go, until the entire center is covered and sealed. It doesn't have to be perfect; mine rarely are! Just make sure it's snug. This step always feels like I'm wrapping a little gift, ready for its crispy transformation.
05 - Lightly brush the top and bottom of your folded crunchwrap with a little olive oil. This is key for that beautiful golden-brown color and crispy texture. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down in your air fryer basket. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. I usually manage two at a time, sometimes I cram a third in there and it's a tight fit, but it still works!
06 - Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it's golden brown and wonderfully crispy on both sides. You'll know it's ready when the cheese inside is melty and bubbling, and the tortilla has that irresistible crunch. My kitchen always smells amazing at this point, like a gourmet fast-food joint, honestly! Let it rest for a minute before slicing; the filling is molten hot, trust me on that one.

# Notes:

01 - Don't overfill the tortillas; it makes folding a nightmare and cheese will escape.
02 - For extra crispiness, pre-toast the small tortillas in the air fryer for a minute before assembly.
03 - Leftovers are best reheated in the air fryer to maintain that satisfying crunch.
04 - Try adding a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a little spicy kick!
