How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps

- Warm the tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a skillet over medium heat for 15–30 seconds per side until pliable. Alternatively, microwave between paper towels for 15–30 seconds.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay tortillas flat and divide the salad mixture evenly. Place it in the center of each tortilla.
- Roll and serve: Fold in the sides, then roll up burrito-style. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Serve whole or sliced in half.

- Use spinach or whole wheat wraps for a healthier twist.

- Serve with extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
