Helpful Cooking Tips

1. Use fresh romaine lettuce for maximum crunch.

2. Let crispy chicken cool slightly before assembling to prevent soggy lettuce.

3. Avoid adding too much dressing, as it can make tortillas soggy.

4. Use freshly shaved Parmesan for the best flavor.

5. Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.

6. Toast the wraps seam-side down first to keep them securely closed.

7. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

8. Use whole-wheat or low-carb tortillas if preferred.

• Meal Prep: Keep lettuce, chicken, dressing, and tortillas separate until serving.

• Reheating: Reheat chicken in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) until hot and crispy.
