# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together faster than ordering takeout and tastes like you actually tried.
- The crunch of cold lettuce against warm chicken hits different every single time.
- You can eat it with one hand, which matters more than it should on busy days.
02 -
- If you skip resting the chicken after grilling, all the juices will run out when you slice it and your wrap will turn soggy.
- Warming the tortillas makes them flexible enough to roll without cracking, which I learned after tearing three in a row the first time I made these.
03 -
- Press the wrapped tortilla gently in the hot skillet for thirty seconds on each side to seal the edges and add a little crispness to the outside.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the wraps in half on a diagonal, it makes them easier to pick up and looks better on the plate.
