# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of warm seasoned chicken against cool crisp lettuce creates that perfect temperature contrast that makes every bite interesting
  • You can have dinner on the table in 30 minutes but it tastes like something from a casual café
  • The dressing doubles as a marinade if you want to prep the chicken ahead, making tomorrow's version even better
02 -
  • Overfilling the tortilla seems tempting but makes rolling impossible—aim for a cylinder shape you can wrap your hand around comfortably
  • Letting the chicken rest is non-negotiable, otherwise all those delicious juices end up on your cutting board instead of in your wrap
  • Room temperature tortillas are the difference between a wrap that holds together and one that cracks and spills everywhere
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken when you have the grill going and freeze it sliced—future you will thank you when you can assemble these in under 5 minutes
  • If your tortillas crack when folding, wrap the stack in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds
