Lay the tortillas flat and evenly divide the salad mixture between them
Roll each wrap tightly like a burrito, tucking in the ends as you go

For extra crunch, toss in croutons just before rolling the wrap

Avocado slices for creaminess
Hard-boiled eggs for extra protein

Warm the tortillas slightly to prevent cracking when rolling
Don’t overfill the wrap to make it easier to fold and eat
Use chilled ingredients for the crispest texture
Pack dressing separately if prepping in advance to avoid sogginess
📦 Storage
Wrap tightly in foil or parchment and refrigerate for up to 1 day
Best enjoyed fresh, but can hold in the fridge for 24 hours if dressing is mixed just before eating

Keep wrapped and chilled if packing for work or school lunches
