Ingredients You’ll Need

This lineup keeps it simple, featuring key building blocks for big flavor. Each ingredient brings its own splash of taste, crunch, or creaminess—the result is a wrap that’s vibrant and irresistibly crave-worthy.

Chicken Breast: Go for boneless, skinless strips for quick cooking and juicy bites every time.
Eggs: Whisked eggs help the crispy coating cling perfectly to your chicken strips.
All-Purpose Flour: Forms the essential base of your breading, for a light, crispy crunch.
Cornstarch: A secret weapon for extra crispiness, blending seamlessly with flour.
Nature’s Seasoning (Seasoned Salt): Packs in big flavor without fuss—just measure, mix, and go.
Light Caesar Dressing: Adds the punchy zest of a Caesar salad, balancing richness with tang.
Parmesan Cheese: Shredded fresh, it brings a salty, nutty kick (and totally ups the Caesar vibe).
Croutons: These crunchy gems deliver even more texture inside your wrap.
Romaine Lettuce: Crisp lettuce is essential, so it holds up to the warmth of the chicken and delivers crunch.
Tortillas: An 8-inch wrap is the perfect size for holding all that deliciousness together.

How to Make Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps

Step 1: Prepare the Breading Stations

Set yourself up for breading success! In one shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and seasoned salt—this is your coating station. Beat the eggs in a second bowl. This two-part process gives the chicken that signature crispy exterior, and it’s worth having both bowls ready so you can work assembly-line style.

Step 2: Bread the Chicken Strips

Start by dipping each chicken strip into the flour mixture, making sure it’s nicely coated. Next, dip it straight into the beaten egg, then tick it back into the flour mixture a second time, pressing gently so every piece gets a thick, even coating. This double-dipping is the secret to that gorgeous crisp on your Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps.

Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken

Lightly spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray, and arrange the chicken strips in a single layer (working in batches if needed). Cook at 380°F for 8 minutes, then give each strip a flip and air fry for another 3 minutes. When they’re golden brown and irresistibly crispy, they’re ready—no deep frying required, but all the crunch!

Step 4: Toss the Caesar Salad

While the chicken cooks, chop the romaine and toss it into a large mixing bowl. Add the creamy Caesar dressing, shredded parmesan, and croutons. Give it all a gentle toss so every bite gets a little of everything. This quick salad brings big bold flavor to the wraps.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas and spoon about half a cup of Caesar salad onto the bottom half of each one. Add 3 to 4 crispy chicken strips per wrap. Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the salad, then make vertical folds on each side, and roll everything up snug like a burrito. Tuck everything in as you go, so your Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps stay tightly packed with all the good stuff.

How to Serve Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps

Garnishes

Garnish your Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps with a sprinkle of extra parmesan or a few fresh cracked pepper flakes for a restaurant-style finish. If you want to get a little fancy, a squeeze of lemon over the top will brighten up the flavors and complement the dressing perfectly.

Side Dishes

These wraps are truly satisfying all on their own, but they pair perfectly with a crisp dill pickle spear, sweet potato fries, or a cup of tomato soup. If you’d like a lighter side, slice up some fresh veggies or whip up a simple fruit salad for something sweet next to all that savory crunch.

Creative Ways to Present

If you’re serving a crowd or just want an extra fun presentation, slice the Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps on a diagonal and arrange on a platter with a dipping bowl of extra Caesar dressing in the center. For lunchboxes or picnics, tightly wrap each one in parchment for an on-the-go treat that travels well and tastes fresh for hours.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftovers, wrap each individual Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. For extra freshness, try storing the crispy chicken and Caesar salad separately and assemble just before eating for a just-made feel.

Freezing

While the wraps themselves aren’t great candidates for freezing due to the fresh greens and dressing, you can prep and freeze batches of the air-fried chicken strips. Once cooked and cooled, store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Then defrost and assemble fresh with salad and tortillas when a craving hits.

Reheating

To revive leftover chicken (or wraps), pop them back into the air fryer for a few minutes at 350°F until heated through and crispy. If reheating a whole wrap, keep it loosely wrapped in foil to prevent the tortilla from drying out, or reheat open-faced for just a quick crisp. Fresh lettuce and salad will appreciate assembly right before eating!

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely! Chicken thighs will be just as delicious—and even juicier—if you prefer dark meat. Just be sure to cut them into even strips for more consistent cooking in the air fryer.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

If you’re meal-prepping or packing these for later, keep the Caesar salad and chicken separate until you’re ready to eat. Assemble just before serving and your Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps will stay perfectly crisp and fresh.

Can I use store-bought Caesar salad mix?

Definitely! If you’re short on time, a high-quality prepared Caesar salad mix works great in these wraps—just toss together with the crispy chicken and you’re ready to go.

What’s the best way to transport these for lunch?

Wrap each assembled Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap tightly in wax paper or foil. Pack the dressing on the side (or go light on it inside the wrap) to prevent sogginess, and keep refrigerated until lunchtime for best freshness.

Are there any gluten-free options?

Yes! Swap in gluten-free tortillas and use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour and cornstarch for the breading. Many big brands offer gluten-free Caesar dressings, too.

Final Thoughts

There’s just something unbeatable about homemade Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Caesar Wraps—they’re crunchy, creamy, and full of flavor in every single bite. Whether you’re serving them up for family dinner, sharing at a picnic, or just treating yourself on a busy weekday, these wraps are a must-try. Give them a spot in your regular recipe rotation, and watch them disappear faster than you can say “crispy chicken!”
