Ingredients
  

Crispy Chicken & Tortillas
  • 1 lb crispy chicken tenders sliced into bite-sized strips
  • 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch warm tortillas
Caesar Salad Filling
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce finely chopped
  • ½ cup shaved parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup garlic croutons lightly crushed
  • ½ cup creamy caesar dressing
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Crisp the Chicken: Air fry or bake breaded chicken tenders at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until deeply golden brown and crunchy. Slice each tender into bite-sized strips.
  2. Toss the Caesar Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, lightly crushed garlic croutons, creamy Caesar dressing, fresh lemon juice, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss gently until every leaf is lightly and evenly coated.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Heat flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15 to 20 seconds per side, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds until soft and pliable.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Mound one cup of dressed Caesar salad down the center of each tortilla, then layer the warm crispy sliced chicken tenders generously on top.
  5. Fold and Roll: Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then tuck the bottom flap tightly over and roll forward into a compact burrito-style cylinder.
  6. Optional Skillet Toast: Place the wraps seam-side down in a lightly oiled hot skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes per side until golden and sealed.
  7. Slice on a diagonal with a sharp serrated knife and serve immediately with extra Caesar dressing for dipping!
