Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps: The 15-Minute Mum Win

If there’s one thing I’m always chasing, it’s dinner that feels like I tried… even when I absolutely didn’t.
That’s where these Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps come in. They’re quick, crispy, full of flavour, and wildly family-friendly. Hayden devours his with extra cheese, Hudson adds hot sauce, and Harlow usually picks the chicken out and eats it like finger food (toddlers, right?).

As a full-time blogger and mum of three, I need meals that fit around the chaos, not add to it. These wraps take just 15 minutes, use minimal ingredients, and the air fryer gives the chicken that juicy-inside, crispy-outside finish with zero fuss. Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or a wrap-and-go kind of night, this recipe is a total win.

Before we dive in—yes, I use my beloved Ninja Air Fryer for this recipe. I’ve tested a few, and this one has honestly changed how I cook dinner with three kids running around. If you don’t already have one, I highly recommend it.

Why You’ll Love These Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Wraps

• Quick & easy for midweek chaos
• Kid-approved + customisable (hello, picky eaters!)
• Crisp, juicy chicken without turning on the oven
• Great hot OR cold—perfect for packed lunches

Ingredients

You only need a handful of simple, budget-friendly staples:

• 2/4 large chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• ½ cup Caesar dressing (your fave brand or homemade)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan
• ½ cup croutons, slightly crushed for texture

Charlotte Tip: Swap chicken breasts for chicken tenders or thigh fillets if you have them—air fryers are forgiving and fabulous with both!

Air Fryer Instructions

1. Season the Chicken

In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

2. Air Fry Until Golden

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F). If you have a Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer Dual Air Fryer, there is no need to preheat (Bonus)
Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through (internal temp: 74°C / 165°F).

Charlotte Tip: Slice the chicken into strips after cooking to keep it super juicy. Want extra crisp? Let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Caesar Wraps

1. Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave or on a dry pan—makes them easier to roll.
2. Spread Caesar dressing in the centre of each tortilla.
3. Layer with chopped romaine, crispy chicken strips, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of crushed croutons.
4. Drizzle a little more dressing if you like things saucy (yes, please).
5. Wrap it up: Fold the sides, roll from the bottom, and slice in half if you’re feeling fancy.

Charlotte Tip: Wrap extras in parchment and pop in the fridge for lunchboxes or park-day picnics. They keep beautifully for 24 hours!

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with sweet potato fries or air fryer chips
• Add a side of fruit salad or veggie sticks for balance
• For grown-up vibes, pair it with a fizzy lemon water and call it a café-style lunch
