First things first, get all your ingredients ready. Shred your cooked chicken, dice the turkey ham, and slice those pickled jalapeños. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced turkey ham, and a generous dollop of ranch dressing. Mix it all up until everything is coated and looking deliciously creamy. This is where the magic starts to happen; I can already smell that savory ranch goodness coming together. Make sure it's well mixed, you don't want a bite without all the good stuff!

Lay one large tortilla flat on your clean workspace. Spoon about a quarter of your chicken and turkey ham mixture into the center, leaving a good border around the edges. Then, sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat mixture. This is where I always get a little heavy-handed with the cheese, but honestly, can you blame me? It’s going to be so gooey and delicious. Try not to overfill it, though, or you'll have a folding nightmare later, trust me!

Now for the crunch! Place a small tortilla (or a cut piece of a larger one) directly over the cheese and meat mixture. This creates that iconic crunchwrap layer. On top of this small tortilla, add a sprinkle of those crushed tortilla chips and a few slices of pickled jalapeños. This is what gives the Air Fried Chicken Turkey Ham Ranch Crunchwrap that extra textural dimension and a little zing. Don't be shy with the jalapeños if you like a little kick!

Carefully begin to fold the edges of the large tortilla towards the center, overlapping them to completely cover the filling. You want to create a neat, sealed packet. This step can be a bit tricky, and I've had many an "oops" moment where a bit of filling tried to escape. Just be patient and press down gently as you go. It doesn't have to be perfect; a little rustic charm is totally fine! Just ensure it's sealed enough for the air fryer.

Once your crunchwrap is folded, give it a light spray with olive oil on both sides. This is crucial for getting that beautiful golden-brown and crispy exterior in the air fryer. If you forget this step, it might come out a bit pale and not as satisfyingly crunchy, which, honestly, is a tragedy for a crunchwrap. Place the folded crunchwrap seam-side down in your air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd the basket; cook them in batches if you need to. I usually do two at a time.

Air fry the Air Fried Chicken Turkey Ham Ranch Crunchwrap at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip it over and air fry for another 4-6 minutes, or until it's golden brown and wonderfully crispy on both sides. The cheese inside should be perfectly melted and gooey, and the tortilla should have that irresistible crunch. You'll know it's ready when your kitchen smells incredible and the exterior is a deep, satisfying golden color. Let it cool for a minute before slicing; that melted cheese can be sneaky hot!
