Ingredients
  

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 1 cup chopped romaine hearts
  • 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 1 slice thick-cut bacon crispy and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons creamy Caesar dressing
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup crunchy croutons
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sliced black olives

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Start by cleaning your counter and gathering all the necessary tools. A cutting board, a knife, and a small mixing bowl will come in handy as we embark on this culinary adventure. Removing distractions is key. Trust me, a clean space boosts productivity and prevents accidental bacon nibbling when you're trying to focus.
  2. In a frying pan over medium heat, add your thick-cut bacon. Cook until it’s crispy, then set it aside on paper towels to drain. This step is crucial—bacon is a delight, but nobody loves grease dripping all over their food. Crumble it once it’s cooled.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine your shredded chicken, chopped romaine hearts, crumbled bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced black olives. Stir gently. This mixture epitomizes balance—crunchy, savory, and a little creamy. The sun-dried tomatoes add a unique twist you didn’t see coming.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of creamy Caesar dressing over the mixture. Toss lightly again. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan on top and give the mix one last gentle fold. You should see the dressing wrap around your ingredients like a cozy blanket.
  5. Lay your large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon your chicken Caesar mixture into the center of the tortilla, leaving room around the edges for folding. Don’t you love it when it all fits perfectly? Now, sprinkle some crunchy croutons on top. This is where the magic happens—a perfect crunch that you won't expect.
  6. Lift the edge of the tortilla closest to you and fold it over the filling. Fold in the sides like you’re tucking the wrap in for a cozy nap, and then roll it away from you to create the wrap. Voila! You’ve just wrapped up a culinary masterpiece.
  7. With a sharp knife, cut the wrap in half. This step not only looks appealing but gives you two portions to enjoy. Pair it with your favorite cold drink or a crisp salad. And there you have it—a Chicken Caesar Wrap that's perfect for any occasion.

Notes

  • Flour Tortilla: A soft, blank canvas that holds everything together. You can use spinach or whole wheat for added health benefits.
  • Romaine Hearts: Add crunch and a refreshing taste. Substitute with butter lettuce for a milder flavor.
  • Shredded Cooked Chicken Breast: Use rotisserie chicken to save prep time, and feel free to season as you like.
  • Crispy Bacon: Enhances flavor and texture. You can go vegan with some crispy tempeh if you prefer.
  • Creamy Caesar Dressing: Ties all elements together. Consider making your own for a healthier twist!
  • Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated makes a world of difference. The pre-grated stuff can’t quite compare in flavor.
  • Crunchy Croutons: For an unexpected crunch. Homemade croutons are easy and delicious if you have the time.
  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Black Olives: These add savory notes—feel free to swap these out for other toppings your family loves.
