Variations

• Spicy Wrap: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a kick of heat.
• Vegetarian Option: Replace the grilled chicken with grilled tofu or roasted chickpeas.
• Low-Carb Version: Use lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps in place of flour tortillas.
• Add Bacon: Include crumbled cooked bacon in the wrap for added crunch and smokiness.
• Different Dressing: Swap Caesar dressing for ranch or Greek yogurt-based dressing for a lighter twist.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store leftover wraps (without dressing) and fries separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheating:

• Wraps: Best enjoyed fresh, but they can be gently reheated in a skillet or sandwich press.
• Fries: Reheat fries in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 8–10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as fries may become soft.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought Caesar dressing?

Yes, store-bought dressing is convenient and works well. Use a high-quality brand for best flavor.

What type of chicken is best for this recipe?

Grilled or rotisserie chicken breast works best. It should be cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces.

Can I make the fries in an air fryer?

Yes, air fry the seasoned potato strips at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

How do I prevent the wrap from becoming soggy?

Assemble just before serving and avoid overloading with dressing. Using slightly toasted tortillas can help.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Yes. Prepare components ahead and assemble the wraps and fries when ready to eat.

Grated Romano or Asiago cheese are good alternatives to Parmesan for a slightly different flavor.
