Tips for Success

Pat chicken dry before seasoning to achieve a better sear.
Do not overcook; chicken should reach 165°F and remain juicy.
Use whole romaine leaves for crunch; shredding loses texture.
Warm tortillas just enough to soften; over‑heating makes them brittle.
Add dressing sparingly; excess can make the wrap soggy.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; keep dressing separate to avoid soggy wraps. Reheat chicken briefly in a skillet; tortillas can be warmed in a microwave for 15 seconds before assembling.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry for a better sear and keep dressing separate until assembly to avoid soggy wraps.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of lettuce?

Romaine provides the classic crunch and flavor; other lettuces become soggy faster. If you must substitute, use crisp iceberg or butter lettuce.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

Apply dressing only to the tortilla surface, not directly on the lettuce, and assemble just before serving. Keep the dressing in a separate bowl until needed.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, prepare grilled chicken and store it separately. Assemble wraps no more than an hour before eating to maintain texture.
