Crunchy meets smooth in these Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps. The chicken strips come out super crispy like you'd get at your favorite restaurant, while the Caesar salad adds a cool, creamy touch - all tucked inside a soft tortilla for an easy grab-and-go meal.
After trying tons of different batches, I found out that coating the chicken twice and getting the air fryer heat just right makes all the difference. This extra step gives you a super crunchy outside that won't go soggy when mixed with the cool salad.
Key Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: Cut into same-sized pieces so they cook evenly
- Caesar Dressing: Makes everything taste just right
- Romaine Lettuce: Gives that needed snap in every bite
Step-By-Step Guide
- Getting Chicken Ready (10 minutes):
- Slice chicken into even strips. Get your breading station ready. Add plenty of seasoning to flour. Whisk eggs until they're smooth. Make sure everything's set up before you start.
- Breading Method (8-10 minutes):
- Roll in your seasoned flour first. Then dunk in egg mixture. Go back for a second coat of flour. Put them on a rack while you finish the rest. Give them a light oil spray before cooking.
- Cooking Time (11-12 minutes):
- Get your air fryer hot at 380°F. Don't pack the strips too close together. Spray with a bit of oil. Cook until they turn golden brown. Turn them over halfway.
- Putting It All Together (5 minutes):
- Give tortillas a quick warm-up. Spread salad stuff evenly across. Place chicken in the right spots. Don't stuff too much inside. Roll them up tight and tuck in the edges.

Keeping and Prepping Ahead
If you want these wraps to work great for meal prep, here's how to store everything:
- Store all parts in different containers
- Keep chicken by itself so it stays crunchy
- Get salad ready but skip the dressing
- Put dressing in its own little container
- Build your wrap when you're ready to eat
Getting Textures Right
Making wraps that feel perfect in your mouth means watching these details:
- Chicken should crunch but still be juicy
- Make sure lettuce has no water drops left
- Heat tortillas just enough to make them bendy
- Add crunchy croutons at the very end
What Goes Well With These
These wraps taste amazing alongside:
- A bowl of mixed fresh fruits
- Crunchy homemade potato wedges
