It is honestly idiot proof. Even if you mess up the plating you will still have delicious food in your mouth. Also you can scale it up for a crowd or down for a solo binge. FYI this recipe plays nice with leftovers and is a perfect meal prep hero.

Ingredients You'll Need

• 2 cups cooked chicken shredded. Use rotisserie chicken if you are in a hurry.
• 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped. Crunch is not optional.
• 1/2 cup Caesar dressing. Store bought or homemade both work.
• 4 large tortillas. Flour wraps give the best cuddle.
• Parmesan cheese for topping. Grated or shaved, be generous.
• Salt and pepper to taste. A little goes a long way.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a bowl mix the shredded chicken chopped romaine lettuce Caesar dressing salt and pepper until well combined.
2. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
3. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas.
4. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the filling.
5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
6. Slice in half and serve with extra Caesar dressing on the side if desired.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overfilling the wrap. If the tortilla looks like a brave balloon about to explode you added too much. Fold sides first then roll tight. Less is more when it comes to portability.
• Using limp lettuce. Wilted romaine ruins the crunch and makes everything soggy. Chop it fresh and pat it dry.
• Ditching seasoning. Tossing everything together without tasting is how bland wraps are born. Add a little salt and pepper and taste as you go.
• Skimping on the dressing. Too dry is sad. Too saucy is messy. Find the balance that keeps the wrap moist but not dripping.
• Rolling weakly. A loose roll will fall apart. Roll with confidence and tuck as you go.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Want to mix things up No problem at all. Swap the chicken for turkey or even roast beef if you are feeling rebellious. For a pescatarian twist try grilled shrimp Caesar wraps which add a smoky punch and are surprisingly classy. If you avoid dairy choose a vegan Caesar dressing and skip the Parmesan or use a plant based parm substitute.

Prefer whole wheat or spinach tortillas Do that. Want more heat Add a few red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha. Low on time Use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken breast. IMO the best swaps keep the crunchy lettuce and creamy dressing because that duo makes the wrap sing.
