Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large tortilla burrito-size tortillas work best
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast chopped (use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped, or green leaf lettuce, iceberg lettuce, or a Caesar salad kit
  • ¼ cup radicchio chopped, optional
  • ¼ cup shredded carrots optional
  • ¼ cup croutons homemade or store-bought, optional
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded or grated
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • ¼ cup Caesar dressing or to taste

Instructions
 

  • If needed, make the chicken, dressing, and croutons. see Notes. (If you need to make these components, please add 20 minutes to the cooking time.)
  • Chop the salad mixture. Add the chopped romaine, radicchio, and carrots to a cutting board. Top with croutons, parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing and sprinkle with black pepper. Using a chef's knife, chop everything up until mixed well.
  • Warm the tortilla. In a dry skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lay the tortilla flat and warm for 15-20 seconds per side. Flip once you see light browning and softening. If making more than one wrap, wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • Wrap it up! Place your warmed tortilla on a flat, clean surface. Spread the salad mixture in a horizontal strip across the middle, leaving about two inches of space on each side. To wrap it, fold both the left and right edges of the tortilla inward to contain the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla up tightly, tucking the edge over the filling to keep it compact. Continue rolling until fully wrapped, making sure it stays snug. If needed, you can brush a little Caesar dressing on the edge to help seal it. Let the wrap sit seam-side down for a few seconds to ensure it stays closed.
  • Finally, slice it in half for easy eating!

Notes

Cook the chicken (if not using rotisserie or cooked chicken)
  • If using chicken breast, season with kosher salt, black pepper, and a little bit of garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
  • Cook in an air fryer at medium-high heat (375°F) for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender.
  • Let it rest, then cut into bite-sized pieces on a cutting board.

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
  • In a bowl, toss 1 cup of bread cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil (or melted butter) until evenly coated.
  • Spread the bread in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
