How to Store:

• Store any leftover chicken caesar filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

• For best freshness, store the filling separately from the tortillas to prevent sogginess.

• When ready to eat, reheat the chicken mixture in a pan or microwave until warmed through, then assemble the wrap fresh.

• If the wrap is already assembled, it can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but the tortilla may soften over time.

Alternatives:

• Swap chicken thighs for chicken breast for a leaner option.

• Replace tortillas with whole wheat, spinach, or low-carb wraps for different nutritional preferences.

• Use Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing instead of traditional Caesar sauce for a lighter alternative.

• Substitute parmesan with pecorino or dairy-free cheese if needed.

• Add extras like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, or croutons for additional texture and flavor. Some people like to add bacon bits aswell!

• For a spicy twist, add chili flakes or hot sauce to the mixture.
