TIPS FOR CHICKEN CAESAR WRAP
- Grill extra chicken and store in the fridge for quick meal prep during the week.
- For a healthier option, use a light Caesar dressing or swap it for Greek yoghurt mixed with lemon and garlic.
- Lightly toast the assembled wrap on a grill pan for a crisp exterior.
VARIATIONS
- Add Veggies: Include sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for extra crunch and flavour.
- Switch the Protein: Replace chicken with grilled turkey or tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Spice it Up: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store the assembled wrap in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. For the best texture, avoid adding dressing until just before serving.
- Freezing: Not recommended, as the lettuce and dressing may become soggy after thawing.
