Steps to make this flavorful wrap
Start by combining the chopped chicken, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle Caesar dressing over the mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat, then spoon the chicken Caesar mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
If desired, sprinkle croutons on top for added texture. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it tightly from the bottom to the top.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Slice the wraps in half for easier handling or wrap them in foil for a portable meal.
Tips for storing your wraps
Wrap each prepared tortilla tightly in foil or plastic wrap to keep it fresh. Store in the refrigerator for up to two days, ensuring the ingredients stay crisp and flavorful.
If using croutons, add them right before eating to maintain their crunch.
