Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps

¼ cup croutons, crushed

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a substantial mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ¼ cup of the Caesar dressing. Use a spoon or spatula to mix thoroughly, ensuring every piece of chicken is well-coated in the dressing.

    Combine the Salad: Add the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese to the chicken mixture. Drizzle the remaining Caesar dressing over the top and gently toss all ingredients together until evenly combined and coated.

      Assemble the Wraps: On a flat, clean surface, lay each tortilla out. Spoon an even amount of the chicken Caesar salad mixture into the center of each tortilla, leaving about an inch of space around the edges to allow for folding.

        Add Crunch: Sprinkle the crushed croutons over each portion of the salad mixture to introduce a delightful crunch. Season with freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.

          Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then start rolling from the bottom upwards, tucking the filling in tightly as you go. If you find it necessary, secure the wraps with a toothpick to keep them intact.

            Serve: For an attractive presentation, slice each wrap diagonally in half. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, allowing everyone to add a zesty squeeze over their wraps right before enjoying.
