Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare the chicken Caesar mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for 1-2 days. This way, all you need to do is grab a tortilla and roll it up when hunger strikes!

Slicing Tricks: When slicing the wraps, use a sharp knife and cut diagonally for beautiful presentation. You’ll feel like a pro chef!
Storage Suggestions: Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and they’ll last in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just remember that the lettuce is best fresh, so consider adding that right before you eat.
