These Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps blend crunchy and velvety textures perfectly. The chicken strips come out super crisp like you'd get at your favorite eatery, while the cool Caesar salad adds a smooth contrast. Everything's tucked inside a soft tortilla for an easy grab-and-go meal.
After trying tons of different methods, I found that double-coating the chicken and getting the air fryer temp just right makes all the difference. This extra step gives you that amazing crunch that won't go soggy when it meets the cool salad.
Key Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: Slice it evenly so it all cooks the same
- Caesar Dressing: Brings everything together nicely
- Romaine Lettuce: Gives that essential snap
Step-by-Step Guide
- Getting Chicken Ready (10 minutes):
- Slice chicken into same-sized strips. Get your breading stuff lined up. Add plenty of seasoning to your flour mix. Whisk those eggs thoroughly. Make sure everything's within reach.
- Breading Steps (8-10 minutes):
- Roll in your seasoned flour first. Then dunk in the egg wash. Back into the flour again. Set them on a rack while you finish the batch. Give them a light oil spray before cooking.
- Cooking Time (11-12 minutes):
- First warm up your air fryer to 380°F. Put the strips in without cramming them together. Mist with oil. Cook till they turn golden. Turn them over halfway.
- Putting It All Together (5 minutes):
- Give tortillas a quick warm-up. Spread out your salad stuff evenly. Add chicken strips in the right spots. Don't stuff too much in there. Roll them up tight and tuck in the sides.

Keeping and Prepping Ahead
Want to make these ahead? Here's how to keep everything fresh:
- Store all parts separately until you're ready to eat
- Keep chicken by itself to stay crunchy
- Mix up your salad without adding dressing yet
- Take dressing in a small container
- Put everything together right before eating
Getting Perfect Texture
Each part needs special attention for the best wrap:
- Chicken needs to snap but still be juicy inside
- Make sure lettuce isn't wet at all
- Heat tortillas just enough so they bend easily
- Add your crunchy croutons at the very end
What to Serve With Them
These wraps taste great alongside:
- A bowl of mixed fresh fruits
