How to make Light Chicken Caesar Wrap
Tips from the cook
- Cut the chicken into even pieces, so it air fries evenly in about 12 minutes.
- Toss the filling with the sauce just before rolling, so the lettuce stays crisp.
- Tuck the sides in and roll tightly, then cut in half.
- No bacon? Leave it out for a lighter wrap.
