What You’ll Need to Make It
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup croutons, crushed
- Cooking spray
How to Make These Crispy Wraps
Start by mixing the shredded chicken, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated, creating a flavorful filling.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a generous scoop of the chicken Caesar mixture to the center, then sprinkle crushed croutons on top for extra crunch.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the outside of each wrap with cooking spray to help them crisp up beautifully.
Place the wraps in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before slicing them in half. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of tortilla? Yes, you can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat, low-carb, or gluten-free tortillas to suit your dietary needs.
What if I don’t have croutons? You can use crushed tortilla chips or omit them entirely, though the croutons add a nice crunch.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to restore the crisp texture.
Ingredient Swaps You Can Try
Swap out the romaine lettuce for spinach or mixed greens for a different flavor. You can also use grilled chicken instead of shredded chicken for a smokier taste.
