4cooked crispy chicken tenders or cutletssliced into strips
4large flour tortillas or wraps
2cupsromaine lettucechopped
0.5cupCaesar dressing
0.25cupParmesan cheesefreshly grated
1cupcroutonslightly crushed for extra crunch
black pepperto taste
0.5cupcherry tomatoesoptional, for a fresh finish
Instructions
Slice the cooked crispy chicken into even strips so it is easy to layer and roll. If the chicken has been refrigerated, warm it gently so it stays crisp without drying out.
In a bowl, toss the chopped romaine with Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and black pepper. Add just enough dressing to coat the lettuce without making it soggy.
Warm the wraps briefly in a dry skillet or microwave so they are soft and easier to fold. This small step helps keep the wrap from tearing.
Lay each tortilla flat, then add the dressed lettuce mixture down the center. Top with sliced chicken and crushed croutons for extra crunch. Add cherry tomatoes if using.
Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half if you like, then serve right away while everything is fresh and crisp.
Notes
Do not overfill the wrap, or it will be harder to roll neatly. Keep the dressing light so the lettuce stays crisp. If you are packing it ahead, keep the chicken and salad separate until just before serving for the best texture.
