Chicken Tortilla Skewers

Recipe by Ralston D'Souza on InstagramAdded 9 November 2026.

20 minutes to prep, 20 to cook. These Chicken Tortilla Skewers combine a spiced chicken mixture with crisp tortillas, all cooked in an air fryer. The hearty, protein‑rich snack offers a fun, handheld twist on classic tortilla wraps, perfect for a quick dinner or party.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken mince, grated carrots, finely diced red onion, chopped coriander, chopped garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Greek yogurt; mix well and set aside.

  2. Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture evenly over a tortilla.

  3. Place another tortilla on top and repeat the spreading process until all the chicken mixture is used, finishing with a plain tortilla as a lid (total of 8 tortillas).

  4. Cut the stacked tortillas into three equal rows and carefully turn each row onto its side.

  5. Insert three skewers through each row to hold the layers together, then cut alongside each skewer to create three large skewers.

  6. Air‑fry the skewers at 400°F for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

  7. Serve hot and enjoy.
