Wrap & Fillings
Prep chicken
If chicken isn't cooked, poach or pan-sear 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 12–14 oz) until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice or shred to make about 2 cups. If using leftover or rotisserie chicken, shred/slice and proceed.
Assemble filling
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups chopped Romaine, 2 cups cooked chicken, 1 cup grated Parmesan, and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (if using). Add 3 tablespoons Caesar dressing, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste), and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Add crunch
Just before wrapping, fold in 1 cup crushed croutons to maintain crunch. If you prefer softer croutons, add earlier.
Place about 1¼ cups of the dressed chicken-Caesar mixture across the center of each warmed tortilla in a horizontal line. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, fold the sides in, and roll tightly to form a wrap. If desired, secure with toothpicks or wrap in parchment. Cut in half on the diagonal for serving.
Fries
Oven-baked method (recommended)
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss dried fries with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment (don't crowd). Bake 18–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and taste for seasoning; add more salt if needed.
Pan-fry or deep-fry alternative
For pan-frying, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fries in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, 12–18 minutes until browned and tender. For deep-frying, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry in batches 3–5 minutes until golden, drain on paper towels and salt immediately.
Serve fries hot alongside the cut wraps.
