You have a romaine lettuce in the fridge, two chicken fillets, and twenty-five minutes ahead of you — what do you do? This Caesar wrap is the honest answer to that question, the one you ask yourself at 12:30 PM when you neither have the desire nor the time to complicate things. Everything that makes the classic Caesar salad successful, folded into a soft tortilla.
Once cut in half, the wrap reveals what really counts: the still-crunchy romaine strips that crunch under the tooth, the golden chicken with lightly caramelized edges, the Parmesan shavings caught in the creamy sauce. The smell of garlic and lemon that releases when slicing reminds of a freshly made vinaigrette. The tortilla, soft and slightly golden if you’ve heated it dry in a pan for a few seconds, holds everything together without cracking. That’s exactly what you expect from a successful everyday dish.
