# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes just 30 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute lunches.
  • The combination of warm grilled chicken and cool, crisp salad creates a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
  • It's endlessly adaptable: swap proteins, add bacon, throw in tomatoes, and it still works beautifully.
  • Unlike most wraps that get soggy, this one holds its shape and flavor even if you make it a few hours ahead.
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is non-negotiable: if you slice it immediately, all those juices run out onto your cutting board instead of staying in the meat.
  • Don't overdress the salad or your tortilla will get soggy within minutes, start with less dressing than you think you need and add more only if it looks dry.
  • Warm tortillas for 10 seconds in the microwave or on the grill before assembling, they'll be more pliable and much less likely to crack when you roll them.
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken and keep it in the fridge so you can throw together these wraps in under 10 minutes any day of the week.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the wraps cleanly without squishing them, it makes all the difference in presentation.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, set up a wrap bar with all the components laid out and let everyone build their own, it's faster and more fun.
