Chicken Caesar falafel crunchwrap is what happens when a Mediterranean pantry crashes into a Taco Bell craving, and the result is genuinely better than either. Crispy chicken strips, crispy falafel, romaine, and a tahini Caesar dressing with a Mediterranean twist. All folded into a large tortilla and toasted until the outside is golden and crispy. Twenty minutes, and it will be the best thing you made all week!
Add the Greek yogurt, Kewpie mayo, tahini, lemon juice, grated garlic, Worcestershire sauce, freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, anchovy paste, and Dijon mustard to a medium bowl. Whisk until completely smooth and creamy with no visible lumps. Taste and adjust lemon, salt, and anchovy paste as needed. The dressing should be bold, tangy, and well seasoned on its own. Set aside to rest while you prepare everything else.
¾ cup full fat Greek yogurt, ½ cup Kewpie mayo, 1 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, 1 tsp anchovy paste, 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Air fry the chicken and falafel
Place the Just Bare chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 375F for 16 minutes until crispy and heated through. Remove and set aside.
1 package Just Bare chicken strips
If using homemade frozen falafel, place in the air fryer at 375F for 6 minutes until crispy and warmed through. If using Trader Joe's frozen falafel follow the package instructions. Both come out perfectly crispy from the air fryer.
8 falafel
Dress the romaine
Add the chopped romaine to a bowl and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the Caesar dressing. Toss until every leaf is lightly coated.
4 cups romaine lettuce
Assemble the crunchwraps
Lay one large burrito tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous dollop of Caesar dressing in the center of the tortilla. Layer the chicken strips in the center followed by the dressed romaine and then 2 falafel. Place one small 6 inch tortilla directly on top of the filling stack.
4 large burrito sized flour tortillas, 4 small 6 inch flour tortillas
Fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the small tortilla one section at a time, pleating as you go to create a sealed parcel. Press firmly with your hands to hold the folds in place. Repeat with the remaining 3 crunchwraps.
Toast the crunchwraps
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam side down in the pan and press gently with a spatula so the entire surface makes contact. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes without moving until the underside is deeply golden and the seam is sealed. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until the second side is equally golden.

Serve
Remove from the pan and slice in half with a sharp knife. Serve immediately while the outside is still crispy and the inside is warm. Serve the remaining Caesar dressing alongside for dipping.
Nutrition facts are only estimates.StorageThe Caesar dressing keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Store the cooked chicken strips and falafel separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Reheat the chicken and falafel in the air fryer at 375F for 4 to 5 minutes before assembling. Assemble and toast the crunchwraps fresh each time. Already toasted crunchwraps do not store or reheat well as the tortilla goes soft and the romaine wilts. Not recommended for freezing once assembled.
