# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a full Caesar salad but you can eat it with one hand while standing in the kitchen.
  • The grilled chicken stays juicy if you let it rest, and it makes the whole thing feel like a real meal instead of just a snack.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before eating so nothing gets soggy.
  • It's one of those recipes that looks impressive but comes together in less time than it takes to order takeout.
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is not optional, it keeps the juices from running out when you slice it and makes every bite tender instead of dry.
  • Assemble the wraps right before eating because the dressing will soften the tortilla and make it harder to roll if it sits too long.
  • If you're packing these to go, wrap them tightly in parchment paper and keep the seam side down so they hold their shape.
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken breasts and keep them in the fridge so you can throw together a wrap in under five minutes on a busy day.
  • Use a grill pan instead of an outdoor grill if the weather isn't cooperating, it gives you the same char and flavor without the hassle.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or lemon juice so it coats the lettuce evenly without clumping.
  • Press down gently on the wrap after rolling it to help it hold its shape, especially if you're slicing it in half.
