- 3 cups romaine lettuce, roughly chopped Crisp and cooling
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Nutty and salty
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing Homemade or store-bought

Instructions
Preparation
- If using cold cooked chicken, warm it briefly in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- In a bowl, combine chopped romaine, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing. Mix until every leaf is lightly coated.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla flat, spoon a generous handful of the dressed romaine down the center, add a layer of warm chicken, sprinkle crushed croutons, and finish with a twist of black pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
- Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom so you have a neat cylinder. If needed, secure with a toothpick.
- Toast the wrapped seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden (optional).
Notes
Make it smoky by adding grilled red pepper or smoked paprika oil. For a vegetarian option, swap chicken for roasted chickpeas.
