How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

Place frozen chicken tenders in the air fryer basket.

Step One: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F, for 3-5 minutes. Place frozen chicken tenders in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and fully cooked. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Once done, set them aside to cool slightly.

Slice crispy chicken tenders into strips for wraps.

Step Two: While the chicken cooks, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Cut it into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Also, grab your flour tortillas, Caesar dressing, shaved Parmesan cheese, and bacon bits.

Cut the chicken into pieces for filling of the wrap.

Step Three: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Drizzle some Caesar dressing on the center of the tortilla, then add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce. Slice the cooked chicken tenders into strips and place them on top of the lettuce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and top with bacon bits.

Assembling the Air Fryer Caesar Wraps on kitchen counter.

Step Four: Gently fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to form a wrap. Slice the wrap into halves or thirds for easier serving.

Step Five: If you like your wrap extra crispy, you can place it back into the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 400 degrees F, seam side down. This will give the tortilla a golden, crispy texture. Serve the wraps immediately while they’re warm, and enjoy your delicious homemade Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps!

Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe Tips

  • Use Frozen Chicken Tenders for Convenience: Pre-cooked frozen chicken tenders save time and cook perfectly crispy in the air fryer.
  • Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm your flour tortillas before wrapping to make them pliable and prevent cracking.
  • Customize the Dressing: Add extra Caesar dressing for a creamier wrap or swap it out for a lighter dressing if desired.
  • Don’t Overfill: Keep the fillings moderate to ensure the wrap stays secure and easy to eat.
  • Serve Immediately: For the best texture, enjoy the wraps fresh while the chicken tenders are hot and crispy.
  • Add Extra Crunch: Toss in croutons or fresh veggies like cucumbers or tomatoes for additional texture and flavor.

Storing

  • Storing Air Fryer Caesar Wraps: To store leftover Air Fryer Caesar Wraps, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
  • Reheating Air Fryer Caesar Wraps: Reheat the wraps in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the chicken and warm the wrap. Alternatively, use a skillet over medium heat for a quick warm-up, flipping occasionally for even heating.

What To Serve With Chicken Caesar Wraps

Air Fryer Caesar Wraps pair wonderfully with a variety of side dishes to create a complete and satisfying meal. For a lighter option, consider a crisp side salad with fresh vegetables and a tangy vinaigrette to complement the rich Caesar dressing in the wrap. If you’re craving something warm, serve the wraps with a bowl of hearty soup, like tomato bisque or creamy potato soup. Sweet potato fries or seasoned air fryer potato wedges make for a delicious and easy-to-prepare side, offering a crispy contrast to the soft tortilla.

Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps Recipe Faqs

Can I use grilled chicken instead of frozen chicken tenders? Absolutely! Grilled chicken works perfectly for these wraps and adds a smoky flavor. Just slice or shred it before assembling.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the ingredients in advance, but it’s best to assemble and air fry the wraps just before serving to keep the tortilla crisp and fresh.

Can I use a different type of dressing? Of course! Ranch or a light balsamic vinaigrette can be great alternatives if you don’t have Caesar dressing.

Are there gluten-free options for this recipe? Yes, simply swap the flour tortillas for gluten-free tortillas, and ensure your other ingredients are certified gluten-free.

Can I add extra veggies to the wraps? Definitely! Sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, or bell peppers can add freshness and a bit of crunch to the wraps.

Can I make these wraps vegetarian? Yes, substitute the chicken tenders with crispy tofu or plant-based chicken alternatives, and leave out the bacon bits for a meat-free option.
