# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like takeout but costs a fraction of the price and tastes fresher every single time.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble wraps in under three minutes when hunger strikes.
  • The combination of warm chicken and cold, crunchy lettuce creates a texture contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
  • It's endlessly customizable so picky eaters and adventurous ones can both be happy at the same table.
02 -
  • Resting the chicken after grilling is not optional, I learned this the hard way when I sliced too early and watched all the juices pool onto the cutting board.
  • Don't add the croutons until right before assembling or they'll turn into soggy bread cubes that ruin the whole texture.
  • If your tortilla cracks when you fold it, warm it for ten seconds in the microwave to make it more pliable.
03 -
  • Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness before grilling so they cook uniformly and stay juicy all the way through.
  • Warm your tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking, especially if they've been refrigerated.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the wraps cleanly without squishing the filling out the sides.
