# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, gather all your ingredients! Lay out your large flour tortillas on a clean surface. This is where the magic begins, honestly. I usually do this assembly line style, setting out all the meats, cheese, and peppers so I can just grab and go. Make sure everything is within easy reach; it makes the whole process smoother and less chaotic, especially if you have little helpers (or hungry eyes) watching your every move. It’s all about setting yourself up for success, right?
02 -
On each tortilla, start layering! I usually begin with a slice of provolone, then a few slices of ham, followed by salami. Don't stack it too high in the middle; remember my exploding wrap incident! Distribute the ingredients evenly, leaving about an inch free around the edges. Next, add a few roasted red pepper strips and some banana pepper rings. This part always smells so good, that tangy, savory aroma just gets me excited for the first bite. Don't be afraid to adjust quantities to your liking; it’s your wrap, after all!
03 -
Now for the rolling! Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, about an inch or so on each side, over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom edge closest to you, tightly roll the tortilla upwards. The tighter you roll, the less likely it is to unravel in the air fryer, which, trust me, is a game-changer. I learned that the hard way after a few floppy wraps! Once rolled, place each seam-side down on a plate. This helps them hold their shape before they hit the heat. It’s a small step, but it makes a big difference in the final presentation.

Lightly spray the tops and bottoms of your rolled wraps with olive oil spray. This is crucial for achieving that lovely crispy, golden exterior. Then, sprinkle a generous pinch of Italian seasoning over each wrap. Don't skip this! It really enhances the overall Italian flavor profile. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). I always let my air fryer preheat fully; it helps ensure even cooking and that beautiful crisp texture we're aiming for. A little patience here pays off big time!
05 -
Carefully place the wraps, seam-side down, in a single layer in your preheated air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd the basket! I usually fit two or three at a time, depending on their size and my air fryer model. Air fry for 4-5 minutes, then flip them over. This ensures both sides get equally crispy and golden. I always peek at them around the 3-minute mark just to make sure they're not browning too quickly; every air fryer is a little different, you know?
06 -
Continue air frying for another 3-4 minutes after flipping, or until the wraps are beautifully golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is gloriously melted and gooey. You'll know they're ready when they smell absolutely irresistible! Carefully remove the hot wraps from the air fryer. I usually let them cool for just a minute or two before slicing them in half diagonally. This makes them easier to handle and shows off all those delicious layers. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crispy, cheesy Italian wraps!
# Notes:
01 -
Always preheat your air fryer for maximum crispiness.
02 -
Reheat leftovers in the air fryer, never the microwave, for best texture.
03 -
Try sliced pepperoni for an extra spicy kick if you're out of salami.
04 -
A side of warm marinara for dipping takes these wraps to the next level.
