Equipment and preparation

What you need

Air fryer (better if it has a large basket).
Large bowl to marinate the chicken.
Special fryer paper (optional).
Sharp knife and board.

Previous preparation (Mise en place)

Cut the chicken into 2-3 cm pieces.
Have the vegetables already washed and cut.
Grate the cheese if you don’t have it prepared.
Preparation time: about 10 minutes.

Leaving everything ready beforehand makes assembly quick and stress-free 👌.

Detailed step-by-step instructions

① Cut the chicken thighs into 2-3cm pieces and place them in a bowl. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian herbs, salt, pepper and oil. Mix very well so that the chicken is completely coated.

② Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until nicely browned and reaches 75°C inside.

③ For the bacon, preheat the fryer again to 200°C. Arrange the slices without overlapping them and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway, until they are crispy. Leave them on absorbent paper and chop them.

④ Place the tortillas in the air fryer at 180°C for 1-2 minutes. This makes them more flexible and prevents them from breaking when rolling.

⑤ Assemble the wraps: spread the tortilla, add lettuce, hot chicken, bacon, tomato, onion, cheddar cheese and a generous splash of Caesar sauce.

⑥ Fold the sides and roll tightly from the base, like a burrito. If you want a crispy finish, place it in the fryer at 180°C for 3-4 minutes seam side down.

🌟 Secrets to success

Use chicken thigh for maximum juiciness.
