Crunchy meets smooth in these Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps. The chicken strips come out super crispy while the cool Caesar salad adds a creamy touch - all tucked inside a soft tortilla for a grab-and-go meal you'll love.
After trying batch after batch, I found that double-coating the chicken and setting the right air fryer temp is key. This extra step makes a coating that stays crunchy even when it's bundled up with cold salad.
Key Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: Cut into same-sized pieces for even cooking
- Caesar Dressing: Brings everything together nicely
- Romaine Lettuce: Adds that must-have crunch
Step-By-Step Guide
- Getting Chicken Ready (10 minutes):
- Slice chicken into equal strips. Get your breading stuff ready. Mix spices into your flour well. Whisk eggs till they're smooth. Have everything within reach.
- Breading Method (8-10 minutes):
- Roll in your spiced flour mix. Run through beaten eggs. Go back for another flour coating. Rest them on a rack as you work. Give them a light oil spray before cooking.
- Cooking Time (11-12 minutes):
- Get your air fryer hot at 380°F. Put strips in without touching. Spray with a bit of 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. Roll them up tight and tuck in the sides.

Keeping Fresh and Planning Ahead
To make these wraps work for meal prep, try this approach:
- Store all parts separately until you're ready to eat
- Keep chicken by itself so it stays crunchy
- Get the salad mix ready but skip the dressing
- Put dressing in its own container
- Build your wrap right before eating
Getting The Feel Just Right
For the best wrap experience, watch these details:
- Chicken should snap when you bite but not be dry
- Make sure your lettuce isn't wet at all
- Heat tortillas slightly so they bend without breaking
- Add croutons at the end so they stay crunchy
What To Eat With Them
These wraps taste great alongside:
- A bowl of mixed fresh fruits
- Crunchy potato wedges
- Some tangy pickle spears
