Notes
Storage: To store Chicken Caesar Wraps, wrap each individual wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you anticipate leftovers, consider keeping the components separate until you’re ready to eat, to maintain the freshness of the lettuce.
Reheating: If you prefer warm wraps, reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds; cover with a damp paper towel to prevent the tortilla from drying out.
Serving: Serve Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately after assembling for the best texture. Pair them with a side of extra Caesar dressing for dipping or a light salad to complement the meal. Garnishing with extra grated parmesan or fresh herbs adds a nice touch.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor and texture, consider incorporating other ingredients like crispy bacon, avocado slices, or even grilled vegetables into the wrap. Experimenting with different toppings can elevate your Chicken Caesar Wraps to another level!
