Method
Dredge & Cook Crispy Chicken
- Set up 3 shallow bowls: Bowl 1 with flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bowl 2 with whisked eggs. Bowl 3 with panko breadcrumbs.
- Pat chicken tenderloins dry. Dredge each piece first in seasoned flour, shake off excess, dip completely in beaten egg, and press firmly into panko until thoroughly coated on all sides.
- Air Fryer Method: Spray basket with avocado oil. Place tenders in a single layer without overcrowding. Spray tops generously. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until deep golden brown, shatteringly crisp, and internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C). (Oven Method: Bake on a wire rack at 425°F/220°C for 16-18 mins). Slice into bite-sized tenders.
Whisk the Caesar Dressing
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayo), grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, halal Worcestershire or caper brine, and black pepper until rich, smooth, and emulsified. Taste and adjust lemon or salt as desired.
Assemble, Roll & Sear Wraps
- Warm the flour tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable. Lay flat on a clean cutting board.
- In a mixing bowl, toss shredded romaine lettuce with 3 tablespoons of the Caesar dressing until lightly coated. Distribute the dressed greens evenly down the center third of each tortilla.
- Layer the hot sliced crispy chicken tenders over the greens, drizzle with extra Caesar dressing, and top with shaved Parmesan cheese flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
- Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, tuck in both sides tightly like a burrito, and roll forward firmly into a tight cylinder.
- Optional Pro Step: Heat a dry nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and toast for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy sealed. Slice diagonally on a bias and serve with extra dressing!
