Craving a lunch that's both satisfying and a little bit fancy? These Chicken Caesar Wraps with Parmesan Crisps are your answer. Picture this: juicy, seasoned chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, and tangy Caesar dressing all snuggled in a warm tortilla, paired with delicate, savory parmesan crisps. It's a delightful twist on a classic Caesar salad that’s portable and fun to eat. Honestly, I had one for lunch yesterday, and now I'm hooked. I even made a little too much ceasar dressing, but I guess there is always more lettuce.
What I love most about this recipe is how customizable it is. Feel free to swap out the chicken for grilled shrimp or tofu, add your favorite veggies, or adjust the dressing to your liking. And those Parmesan crisps? They're not just a garnish; they add a salty, cheesy crunch that takes these wraps to the next level. One time, my friend accidentally used Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan. She said they came out even more flavorful and it was good, but it was way saltier. So you can definitely have fun with it!

📖 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Grate about 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. The finer the grate, the crispier the crisps will be. Trust me, it's worth the extra minute!
Arrange small piles (about 1 tablespoon each) of grated Parmesan on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Lightly sprinkle each pile with freshly ground black pepper. This adds a subtle, yet delightful, kick.
Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from golden to burnt quite quickly. Speaking from experience here!
Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool completely on the baking sheet. They'll crisp up as they cool. Patience, my friend!
Once cooled, gently peel the Parmesan crisps from the parchment paper. They should be delicate and crispy.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Nobody likes bland chicken!
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
While the chicken is cooling, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A little extra lemon juice can brighten it up!
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooled chicken, and Caesar dressing. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Don't drown the lettuce!
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable. This prevents them from tearing when you roll them.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Caesar salad onto the center of the tortilla.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, burrito-style. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and salad.
Serve the Chicken Caesar Wraps immediately with the Parmesan crisps on the side. Alternatively, cut the wraps in half and arrange the Parmesan crisps artfully on the plate. Presentation matters, right?
