# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like restaurant food but comes together in less time than it takes to order delivery and pick it up.
  • The crunch of romaine and croutons against tender chicken creates a texture combination that keeps every bite interesting.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before eating, making it perfect for meal prep or busy weeknights.
  • It travels beautifully in foil or parchment, so pack it for lunch without worrying about sogginess.
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is not optional, if you slice it immediately all the moisture escapes and you end up with dry, sad chicken.
  • Do not add the croutons until right before assembling or they turn into mushy bread chunks that ruin the whole texture.
  • Warm tortillas for 10 seconds in the microwave or on a dry skillet so they roll without tearing, cold tortillas crack and fall apart.
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken and keep it in the fridge so you can throw together wraps in under five minutes all week long.
  • Use a good quality Caesar dressing or make your own, the cheap stuff tastes like mayonnaise and regret.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, try a different brand, some are just too dry and brittle no matter what you do.
