How to make Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap
Tips from the cook
- Pound the chicken to an even thickness, so it cooks through before the crumbs burn.
- Use one hand for the dry coating and the other for the egg, so your fingers do not clump.
- Drain the fried chicken on a rack or paper, so the crumbs stay crisp.
- Toss the lettuce with only a little dressing, and use the rest in the wrap.
- Warm the tortilla in a pan first, as it rolls without tearing. Eat the same day.
