- 1
Air fry or bake chicken tenders at 400°F (205°C) for 8-10 minutes until deeply golden and crunchy. Slice into bite-sized strips.
Chef's Secret: Warm, crunchy chicken paired with cool, crisp romaine creates the best temperature contrast. - 2
In a large mixing bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, fresh lemon juice, crushed croutons, and half the shaved parmesan until evenly coated.
Chef's Secret: Crushing the croutons slightly allows them to roll neatly into the wrap without tearing the tortilla. - 3
Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or on a dry skillet for 10 seconds per side so they become pliable.
Chef's Secret: Warm tortillas stretch without splitting or breaking when folded. - 4
Lay tortillas flat. Mound dressed Caesar salad down the center of each wrap. Top with hot sliced crispy chicken tenders and remaining shaved parmesan.
Chef's Secret: Leave a 2-inch border on top and bottom to tuck the ends in cleanly. - 5
Fold in the sides of the tortilla tightly, then roll forward from the bottom, tucking tightly as you roll like a burrito.
Chef's Secret: Roll tightly for that gorgeous cross-section slice. - 6
Optional: Sear the seam-side down in a hot dry skillet for 1 minute to seal and toast the wrap. Slice diagonally and enjoy!
Chef's Secret: Grilling the seam locks the wrap shut so no salad falls out.
