Instructions
Prepare the protein by shredding rotisserie chicken or slicing grilled chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped greens (romaine, kale, or spinach) with the Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, zest, and minced garlic. Toss until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the croutons and your chosen chicken or protein source.
Lay the tortilla or wrap flat on a clean surface. To prevent sogginess, place a layer of chicken or a sprinkle of cheese directly against the wrap to act as a moisture barrier.
Place a generous portion of the Caesar salad mixture in the center of the wrap.
Execute the perfect fold by tucking in the sides of the tortilla and rolling it tightly from the bottom up to ensure the filling stays secure.
Optional: For a warm, crunchy variation, place the assembled wrap in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Slice the wrap diagonally and serve immediately, or pack into a bento box for a portable meal.
