Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 2 eggs
Coating and Seasoning:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Nature’s Seasoning (seasoned salt)
Wrap and Salad Components:
- 1/4 cup light Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup croutons
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 4 (8-inch) tortillas
Instructions
- Create a seasoned coating by thoroughly mixing flour, cornstarch, and preferred spices in a shallow dish.
- Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until well blended.
- Individually coat each chicken strip by first dipping in flour mixture, then egg wash, and finally returning to flour mixture to ensure complete, even coverage.
- Lightly coat air fryer basket with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange chicken strips in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding, and air fry at 380°F for approximately 11 minutes total, turning halfway through cooking time.
- Carefully monitor chicken to achieve a golden brown exterior and ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
- While chicken cooks, thoroughly wash and chop crisp lettuce.
- Combine lettuce with caesar dressing, grated parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons in a mixing bowl, tossing gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Warm tortillas slightly to increase flexibility.
- Place approximately 1/2 cup prepared caesar salad in center of each tortilla.
- Arrange 3-4 crispy chicken strips on top of salad mixture.
- Fold bottom edge of tortilla over filling, then carefully fold in sides.
- Roll wrap tightly, creating a sealed package that prevents ingredients from falling out.
Notes
- Perfectly Coat Chicken Use a fork to evenly coat chicken in flour mixture, ensuring no clumpy spots for uniform crispiness.
- Prevent Sticking Lightly spray air fryer basket with oil to stop chicken from adhering and maintain crisp exterior.
- Batch Cook Wisely Don’t overcrowd air fryer basket; cook chicken in single layers for maximum crunchiness and even heating.
- Customize Wrap Options Swap tortillas for low-carb alternatives like lettuce wraps or gluten-free versions for dietary modifications.
