Tips and Tricks

Dry the lettuce well - Extra water on the leaves can make the wraps slippery and watery.
Keep the apple crisp - Mix the filling close to serving time for the best texture.
Pack the filling separately - For meal prep, store the lettuce and chicken mixture in separate containers and assemble when ready to eat.
Chop everything fairly small - Smaller pieces make the wraps easier to fill and eat.

Storing

Refrigerator - Store the chicken mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the washed and dried lettuce in a separate container.
Meal prep - Portion the filling ahead of time, but wait to fill the lettuce leaves until serving so they stay crisp.
