  3. Preheat the air fryer.Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
  4. Air fry the chicken.Arrange the coated tenders in a single layer without overlapping. Lightly spraythe tops with cooking spray. Air fry for approximately 10–14 minutes, turninghalfway through, until crisp and the thickest part of the chicken reaches165°F.
  5. Make the sauce.Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlicpowder, and yellow mustard in a small bowl. Stir until completely smooth.
  6. Assemble the wraps.Lay the tortillas flat. Spread some sauce over the center of each tortilla.Divide the lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheddar between them.
  7. Add the chicken.Place approximately three cooked chicken tenders in each tortilla. Drizzle witha little additional sauce.
  8. Fold the wraps.Fold the sides inward, then roll each tortilla tightly around the filling.
  9. Toast.Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and toastuntil lightly golden. Turn and toast the opposite side.
  10. Serve.Rest for about 1 minute, cut diagonally, and serve warm.

Notes

Chicken tenderloins vary in thickness, so cooking time may vary. Do not overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if necessary. Always check the thickest part of the chicken with an instant-read thermometer—it should reach 165°F. Finely crushed Doritos adhere better than large pieces. Assemble the wraps shortly before serving to keep the chicken coating crispy. Cornflakes can be used instead of Doritos, but additional seasoning may be needed.
