Ingredient Notes

For this recipe, you’ll need paneer (Indian cottage cheese), yogurt, your choice of fresh vegetables (like bell peppers or cucumbers), and whole wheat wraps. If you can’t find paneer, substitute with firm tofu. Use plain yogurt; Greek yogurt works as well for added thickness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and air-fry the marinated paneer for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  2. While the paneer cooks, prepare your wraps by laying out whole wheat tortillas and adding your choice of sliced fresh vegetables.
  3. Once the paneer is cooked, assemble the wraps by adding the paneer on top of the vegetables, rolling them tightly, and securing with a toothpick if needed.

Things I’ve Learned

Using an air fryer significantly reduces cooking time while keeping the paneer crispy. If you’re making these ahead, store the cooked paneer in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before assembling your wrap for the best texture.
