easyWhy tonight. Leftover chicken, sharp dressing.
What it needs
Nothing confirmed on your shelf yet — this list is the whole ask.
- tortillas
- chicken
- lettuce
- parmesan
- lemon
Good if you have them, fine if you do not: anchovies.
Method
- The dressing is anchovy mashed with garlic and salt, then lemon, then oil beaten in slowly. Made in that order it emulsifies; made in any other it splits.
- Dress the lettuce in a bowl and let it drain for a minute before it goes in. Dripping dressing is what makes a wrap fall apart.
- Chicken seared, rested, sliced. Warm chicken and cold lettuce is the right contrast.
- Warm the tortilla, fill the lower third, fold the sides in, then roll tight and cut on the diagonal.

Why each of these is on the list
What the ingredients are actually doing
- tortillas
- They want direct heat before they go anywhere near a plate.
- chicken
- Two different foods depending on the cut.
- lettuce
- Structure and water, and it is worth being fussy about.
- parmesan
- Salt, fat and savory depth in a form that keeps for months.
- lemon
- Acid you add at the end, not the start.
