# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It turns a fork-and-plate salad into something you can eat in the car without regret.
  • The contrast between warm grilled chicken and cold crunchy romaine is better than it has any right to be.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble in under two minutes when hunger hits.
  • It tastes like restaurant quality but costs a fraction and uses one bowl.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after grilling or you'll lose all the juices when you slice it, turning tender meat into dry shreds.
  • Don't dress the salad more than 10 minutes before assembling or the croutons will turn to mush and the lettuce will start weeping.
  • Roll the wraps as tight as you can without tearing the tortilla, loose wraps fall apart and make a mess of your hands.
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken and keep it in the fridge, then you can throw these wraps together in under five minutes all week.
  • Use parchment paper or foil to wrap the finished product if you're taking it to go, it keeps everything tight and makes eating cleaner.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, they're probably stale, buy fresh ones or warm them briefly before rolling.
