For this recipe we used flour tortillas as they are pliable, won’t break like corn tortillas, and honestly taste better. Also, we used 10 inch tortillas to fit all of the filling.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Flour Tortillas 10-In
  • 1 Pound Crispy Chicken Tenders (see this recipe)
  • Lettuce Shredded
  • Tomato Sliced
  • ¼ Cup Ranch

Instructions
 

  • Start by using our recipe here. If you have leftover tenders, then preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees. Place the leftover chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook the tenders for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip them over using tongs or a spatula.
  • Cook for another 3 minutes or until the tenders are heated through and the exterior is crispy and golden brown.
  • Place a flour tortilla on a plate. Lay a couple of reheated chicken tenders in the center of the tortilla.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded lettuce over the tenders. Place a few slices of tomato on top of the lettuce.
  • Finish with a drizzle of ranch. The amount you use will depend on your taste preferences, but be careful not to overdo it to avoid making the wrap too soggy.

Notes

  • You may need to work in batches if you have a lot of tenders.
  • Check for doneness by cutting into one of the tenders to ensure it’s heated through.
