Crispy Thai Chicken Salad Wraps (Fresh, Crunchy & Easy)

These Crispy Thai Chicken Salad Wraps are everything you want in a quick, flavorful meal—crunchy veggies, golden air-fried chicken, and a tangy-sweet Thai-inspired dressing, all wrapped in a warm, lightly toasted tortilla. They’re bright, fresh, and packed with texture, making them perfect for lunches, meal prep, or weeknight dinners that feel a little special without any extra work.

The chicken gets ultra-crispy thanks to a simple cornstarch coating and high-heat finish in the air fryer. Tossed with a crisp veggie salad and wrapped up burrito-style, it’s a balanced, light, and super satisfying meal.


Ingredients

For the Crispy Chicken

  • 1.25 lb chicken thighs, cubed
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (for marinating)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • Avocado oil spray

For the Salad

  • 2 small carrots, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups leafy lettuce, chopped

For the Dressing

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp honey

For Serving

  • Low-carb tortillas

Instructions

1. Marinate the chicken

Place the cubed chicken thighs in a bowl and coat with avocado oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer adds more flavor).

2. Coat in cornstarch

After marinating, add the cornstarch to the chicken and toss until every piece is evenly coated.

3. Air fry the chicken

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
Air fry the chicken for 10 minutes.
Open the basket, spray the chicken generously with avocado oil, increase temperature to 400°F, and cook for another 5–7 minutes until crispy and golden.

4. Make the salad

In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, julienned carrots, and sliced red bell pepper.

5. Whisk the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, avocado oil, and honey.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.

6. Add the chicken

Add the crispy chicken pieces to the salad and gently toss.

7. Assemble the wraps

Spoon the salad mixture onto low-carb tortillas and roll into wraps.

8. Toast

Lightly toast the wraps in a skillet or air fryer until warmed and slightly golden on the outside.


Serve

Slice and enjoy warm or chilled. They make an incredible lunch and stay crunchy surprisingly well thanks to the crisp veggies and toasted wrap.
