Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Cook and cool the grilled chicken breasts completely, then slice them into strips suitable for wrapping.
Prepare the Lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce leaves to ensure the wraps do not become soggy.
Lay Out Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface ready for assembling.
Spread Dressing: Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing in the center of each tortilla to act as the base sauce.
Add Lettuce and Chicken: Layer dry romaine leaves evenly on top of the dressing, then place the sliced chicken down the middle of the lettuce.
Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper to taste, and grated parmesan cheese over the chicken and lettuce. Add optional lemon juice if using for a bright flavor.
Add Optional Toppings: Add desired optional toppings such as croutons, bacon bits, and halved cherry tomatoes for added crunch and flavor.
Wrap the Tortilla: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the fillings, fold in both sides tightly, then roll firmly from bottom to top to enclose the ingredients securely.
Secure and Chill: Secure the wraps with plastic wrap or toothpicks to keep them intact and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serving: Before serving, let the wraps rest for 10 minutes, then cut each wrap diagonally with a sharp knife. Wrap individually for storage or immediate serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the lettuce is very dry to prevent sogginess.
You can substitute grilled chicken with rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken.
Optional lemon juice brightens the flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
These wraps can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, making them perfect for meal prep.
To make the wraps gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
