How to Make Chicken Caesar Wrap

- Assemble the Filling
In a large bowl, mix shredded kale, romaine, grilled chicken, toasted panko, and Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Drizzle with the tahini Caesar dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
- Wrap It Up
Place a generous amount of the filling onto a tortilla. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.

Slice the wrap diagonally and enjoy immediately!
Storage and Meal Prep Tips
- Refrigeration: Store individual components (chicken, dressing, and greens) in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days.
- Assembly: Assemble the wrap just before eating to avoid sogginess.
- Freezing: Freeze grilled chicken and tortillas separately for future use. Avoid freezing the dressing or assembled wraps.
Tips for Success
- Double the Dressing: Tahini Caesar dressing can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Thin with water as needed.
- Batch Cooking Chicken: Grill extra chicken at the start of the week for easy wraps, salads, and more.
- Experiment with Greens: Add spinach or arugula for variety.
