  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Air Fryer Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)

For the Caesar Wrap Filling:

4 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1/2 cup Caesar dressing (your favorite brand or homemade)

1/4 cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup crushed croutons (optional, but recommended for crunch)

For Assembling:

46 large flour tortillas (burrito size, 1012 inches)

Instructions

1. 1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere and promotes even cooking.

2. 2. In a medium bowl, drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to rub the seasoning evenly over all surfaces.

3. 3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

4. 4. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary. Air fry for 10-14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. 5. Remove the chicken and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing or dicing. Slice into strips or chop into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons (if using). Toss gently until evenly coated.

7. 7. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet, microwave, or over a gas flame to make them pliable.

8. 8. Lay a warmed tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the Caesar salad mix onto the center, leaving space around the edges. Arrange some of the chicken on top.

9. 9. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up to secure the filling.

10. 10. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Resting the chicken after cooking is crucial for juiciness. Assemble wraps just before serving to prevent sogginess. For meal prep, store components separately. To reheat chicken, use the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.
