Why these wraps are worth making
- Enjoy perfectly cooked chicken with a golden, flavorful crust thanks to the air fryer.
- The combination of fresh romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese adds crunch and vibrancy.
- Using whole wheat tortillas and light Caesar dressing keeps this dish on the healthier side.
Ingredients you’ll need
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (light or homemade)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: Croutons for topping
Step-by-step preparation
Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, mix olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the seasoning mixture and place them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a large bowl, toss romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese together. Lay out the tortillas and spread the salad mixture evenly across each one.
Top the salad with sliced chicken and sprinkle croutons if desired. Wrap the tortillas tightly, slice each wrap in half, and serve immediately.
How to store leftovers
Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the chicken separately in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore its crisp texture.
Perfect pairings for this dish
Serve these wraps with a side of roasted sweet potato wedges for a heartier meal. Pair them with a fresh fruit salad to keep things light and refreshing.
A bowl of soup, like tomato or vegetable, complements the flavors of the wraps beautifully.
Expert tips for success
- Slice the chicken thinly to ensure even distribution in each wrap.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to make them easier to fold.
- For extra crunch, add croutons right before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
