How to prepare this wrap

Start by combining the chopped romaine lettuce, grilled chicken slices, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle the Caesar dressing and lemon juice over the mixture, then sprinkle with black pepper.

Toss the ingredients gently to evenly coat them with the dressing. Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon the chicken Caesar mixture onto the center, leaving space at the edges.

If you’d like extra texture, add a handful of croutons on top of the mixture. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.

Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your homemade high protein chicken Caesar wrap!
