- 2 large whole wheat tortillas (flour tortillas also work well)
- 1 cup grilled chicken breast, sliced (substitutions: rotisserie chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped (feel free to mix with spinach for added nutrients)
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (you can use store-bought or homemade for a fresher taste)

- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
⚪ Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Start by grilling or sautéing the chicken breast until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (about 6-7 minutes per side on medium heat). For flavor, season it with salt and pepper. For a smoky twist, consider marinating it in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Italian herbs for about 30 minutes before cooking.
⚪ Step 2: Mix the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine your Caesar dressing and grated Parmesan cheese. Mixing these two together enhances the flavor profile, making the sauce richer and creamier when spread across your wrap.
⚪ Step 3: Assemble the Wrap
Lay the whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface. Start by adding the grilled sliced chicken onto the tortilla, followed by the romaine lettuce. Drizzle enough of your creamy Caesar dressing over the top, ensuring an even distribution. If you like added crunch, sprinkle the crushed croutons and extra Parmesan on top.
⚪ Step 4: Roll the Wrap
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom upward. To maintain a stable wrap, take care to keep all the delicious contents tucked in!
⚪ Step 5: Slice & Serve
Use a sharp knife to slice the wrap in half; this not only makes it easier to eat but also displays the delightful filling. Serve it immediately, or wrap it for lunch!
