Make low-carb wraps using air-fried, crispy parmesan chicken tenders tucked into large lettuce leaves with creamy Caesar dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
  • 1 cup crushed pork rinds (or almond flour)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves (or 4 keto tortillas)
  • 2 cups chopped Romaine lettuce hearts
  • 1/2 cup keto Caesar dressing
  • 2 tablespoons extra grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C). If baking, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the crushed pork rinds, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Dip each chicken tender first into the beaten egg, letting excess drip off.
  4. Dredge the egg-coated tender thoroughly in the pork rind mixture, pressing firmly to coat completely.
  5. Place the coated tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). If baking, place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. While the chicken cooks, prepare your wraps. If using lettuce, wash and dry the large Romaine leaves thoroughly.
  7. In a bowl, toss the chopped Romaine hearts with the keto Caesar dressing and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
  8. Slice the crispy chicken tenders into strips.
  9. Lay out your lettuce leaves or keto tortillas. Place a portion of the dressed salad mixture down the center of each wrap base.
  10. Top the salad mixture with the sliced crispy chicken tenders.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the filling.
  12. Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf or tortilla inward and roll tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness when air frying, lightly spray the coated tenders with cooking spray before cooking.
  • If you prefer a softer coating, substitute almond flour for the pork rinds, though the texture will be less crunchy.
  • Make sure your Romaine leaves are very dry to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
