Ingredients
Scale

- 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (grilled, fried, or rotisserie)
Vegetables and Dairy:
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup homemade croutons
Condiments and Seasoning:
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Wrap:

Instructions
- Whisk together Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl to create a flavor base.
- Add chopped romaine lettuce and cooked chicken to the seasoned dressing, gently tossing until ingredients are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle croutons over the salad mixture, folding them in lightly to maintain their crunch.
- Warm tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds on each side, ensuring they become flexible without browning.
- Alternatively, microwave tortillas between paper towels for 15-20 seconds to achieve pliability.
- Place a warmed tortilla on a flat surface and center a generous portion of the Caesar salad mixture.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling, then carefully fold in the side edges.
- Roll the wrap tightly from bottom to top, creating a compact and secure bundle.
- Optional: Secure the wrap with a toothpick to prevent unraveling.
- Slice wraps diagonally for easier handling and more appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately while ingredients remain fresh and crisp.
Notes
- Customize your wrap by grilling the chicken beforehand for a smoky flavor enhancement.
- Swap traditional tortillas with gluten-free or low-carb alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Keep extra Caesar dressing on the side for those who enjoy more dressing or want to adjust the moisture level.
- Prep ingredients in advance and store separately to maintain crispness and prevent soggy wraps.
