The wrap halves are stacked one on top of the other on a white plate. In the background, there is a side of orange shredded carrots and light yellow shredded cabbage, all placed on a white marbled surface. A woman's hand is gently holding one half of the wrap.

Ingredients

1 large tortilla
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup Caesar dressing
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to evenly coat all ingredients.
Step 2: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Step 3: Lay the large tortilla flat and spread the chicken mixture down the center, forming a line.
Step 4: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling completely.
Step 5: Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.

Tips & Variations

For added crunch, include sliced cucumbers or tomatoes inside the wrap.
Use grilled chicken for a smoky flavor, or substitute with turkey for a different twist.
If you like your wrap warm, lightly toast the wrapped tortilla in a pan for 1–2 minutes per side before serving.
Try a whole wheat or spinach tortilla for added nutrition and flavor variation.

Storage

Store any leftover wrap tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For best texture, avoid storing for longer as the tortilla may become soggy. Reheat briefly in a pan or microwave if desired, though it’s also delicious served cold.

How to Serve
