Description

This Asian Chicken Salad Wraps recipe features crispy air-fried chicken strips combined with fresh romaine lettuce, colorful coleslaw, crunchy chow mein noodles, and sliced almonds, all tossed in a creamy honey sesame dressing. Wrapped in warm flour tortillas and optionally toasted for extra flavor, these wraps make a perfect light lunch or dinner packed with vibrant textures and flavors.


Ingredients

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Wraps

  • 4 large crispy chicken strips
  • 2 Romaine lettuce hearts
  • 1 1/2 cups tri-colored coleslaw
  • 1/4 cup chow mein noodles
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 4 large flour tortillas, warmed slightly


Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken Strips: Air fry the chicken strips according to the package directions, typically about 12 to 15 minutes at 400°F, until crispy and cooked through. Then chop them into small bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sesame oil until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare the Lettuce: Trim the ends off the Romaine lettuce hearts, slice them lengthwise into thirds, then cut into thin ribbons suitable for the wrap filling.
  4. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the chopped chicken, lettuce ribbons, tri-colored coleslaw, crunchy chow mein noodles, and sliced almonds. Pour the prepared dressing over the mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Divide the salad mixture evenly among the warmed flour tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling. Optionally, toast the rolled wraps in a skillet over medium heat until the outside is golden brown and slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm and crisp.

Notes

  • Using air-fried chicken strips provides a crispy texture without deep frying, making the wraps lighter and healthier.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs such as cilantro or green onions to enhance flavor.
  • To make these wraps ahead, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
  • Toasting the wraps is optional but adds a nice crunch and warmth to the finished dish.
