03 - Distribute chopped spinach, julienned carrot, diced red and yellow bell peppers, and shredded cheese evenly over each tortilla.
04 - Roll each tortilla tightly. Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap into 2 to 3 diagonal sections to create tree-shaped pieces.

06 - Use a small star-shaped cutter to create stars from the sliced yellow bell pepper and press one onto the top of each wrap tree.
07 - Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds over the wraps to resemble snow, if desired.
08 - Set the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) and allow it to preheat.
09 - Arrange the wrap pieces cut-side up in the air fryer basket without overcrowding and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
