Instructions

1. Prepare ingredients: slice 1 cup cooked chicken into bite-sized strips, rinse and dry 1 cup romaine lettuce, grate 2–3 tablespoons hard cheese (such as Parmesan), and keep 2 large flour tortillas (about 25 cm) at room temperature so they are flexible.
2. Mix the filling: in a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, lettuce, and cheese. Add 2–3 tablespoons Caesar-style dressing and toss with a spoon until all pieces are lightly coated and no large dry spots remain.
3. Warm the tortillas: place each tortilla in a dry pan over low heat for about 10–20 seconds per side until just soft and pliable, then transfer to a plate.
4. Assemble the wrap: place half of the chicken mixture in a line across the lower third of one tortilla, leaving about 3 cm from each side edge. Fold the left and right sides inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom toward the top to enclose the filling. Repeat with the second tortilla.
5. Set and serve: place the wraps seam-side down on a board, let them rest for 2–3 minutes, then cut each wrap in half diagonally if desired. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment or foil for later consumption the same day.

FAQ

• Q: Can I use a different type of wrap instead of flour tortillas?
  A: Yes. You can use corn tortillas, flatbreads, or similar soft wraps, adjusting heating time so they become flexible but do not break.
• Q: What can I use instead of romaine lettuce?
  A: You can replace romaine with other leafy options such as iceberg lettuce, mixed salad greens, or shredded cabbage, keeping the total volume similar.
• Q: Can I prepare the Chicken Caesar Wrap in advance?
  A: You can assemble it a few hours ahead and keep it chilled, noting that the lettuce may soften over time if stored with dressing.
• Q: Is it necessary to warm the tortillas?
  A: Warming is not strictly required but can make the tortillas easier to fold and may reduce cracking during rolling.
• Q: Can I replace the Caesar-style dressing?
  A: Yes. You may use other creamy or vinaigrette-style dressings according to your taste, maintaining a similar quantity to coat the filling.
