Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Cooking spray (for air fryer)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced tomato
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken coating: Mix flour, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in one shallow dish. Place the beaten egg in a second dish. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third dish.
- Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg, letting excess drip off. Coat thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Cook the chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the coated chicken strips with cooking spray. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Make the avocado sauce: Combine the avocado, lime juice, water, cumin, and a pinch of salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon more water if the sauce is too thick.
- Warm the tortillas: Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Place lettuce and tomato down the center. Top with 3-4 crispy chicken strips. Drizzle generously with the creamy avocado sauce.
- Fold the wrap tightly by folding in the sides first, then rolling from the bottom up. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness when air frying, ensure the chicken pieces do not touch each other in the basket. Work in batches if necessary.
- If you do not have an air fryer, pan-fry the chicken in 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and cooked through.
- Use large, sturdy flour tortillas to prevent tearing during assembly.
