Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Optional: cherry tomatoes, halved for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it heats up, take the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels, which will help achieve a crispy texture during cooking.

    Season the Chicken: In a small mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, then rub this flavorful seasoning blend evenly over both chicken breasts to infuse them with delicious taste.

      Coat the Chicken: Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned chicken, ensuring they are well-coated, then press the breadcrumbs onto each breast firmly, allowing them to stick for that perfect crunch.

        Air Fry the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer to allow adequate airflow. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. You're aiming for a golden brown exterior and an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

          Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay out the flour tortillas. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of Caesar dressing over each tortilla, ensuring even coverage. Evenly distribute the chopped romaine lettuce and sliced chicken across the tortillas.

            Add the Finishing Touches: Generously sprinkle each filled tortilla with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If desired, add halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh pop of color and flavor. Drizzle a little more Caesar dressing on top for that extra zing.

              Wrap it Up: Gently fold in the sides of each tortilla to encase the filling, then roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom edge upwards to form a secure wrap. If needed, secure the wrap with toothpicks to hold everything in place.

                Serve: Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal and arrange them artfully on a platter. For an enticing touch, drizzle with additional Caesar dressing for dipping and consider garnishing with more grated Parmesan cheese on top for visual appeal.
