For the Caesar wraps
10 -
4 large flour tortillas, 10-inch size
11 -
5 cups chopped romaine hearts
12 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) creamy Caesar dressing, plus more for serving
13 -
1/3 cup (30 g) finely grated parmesan cheese
14 -
3/4 cup (35 g) croutons, lightly crushed
15 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, optional
16 -
Extra parmesan and black pepper, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes. Lightly coat the basket with oil spray.
02 -
In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the beaten eggs in a second shallow bowl.
03 -
Dip each chicken strip into the egg, then press it into the flour mixture until coated on all sides. Shake off extra flour so the coating is thin and even.
04 -
Arrange the chicken strips in a single layer with space between pieces. Spray the tops with oil. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and the thickest piece reaches 165°F. Cook in batches if needed.
05 -
In a bowl, toss the romaine with Caesar dressing, parmesan, crushed croutons, and lemon juice if using. Keep the dressing light so the wraps do not get soggy.
06 -
Warm the tortillas until flexible. Add Caesar salad to the lower third of each tortilla, top with crispy chicken, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Slice in half and serve right away with extra dressing if desired.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served immediately while the chicken is hot and crisp.
02 -
For meal prep, store chicken, lettuce, dressing, and croutons separately.
03 -
Air fryer cook time may vary by model and chicken thickness.
