Notes
Veggie Lovers can add zucchini or mushrooms for a delightful twist. For a spicy kick, incorporate jalapeños or drizzle with sriracha. Feel free to swap out mozzarella for a lower-fat cheese or use lettuce leaves for a lighter wrap. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; it’s better to cook in batches for even crispiness.
