Save All the flavors of a classic Caesar salad wrapped up with juicy chicken and crunchy croutons for a fresh, satisfying lunch or dinner.
This wrap became a family favorite after I tried it on a busy weeknight when we needed something quick but delicious.

- Wraps: 4 flour tortillas or wraps (10-inch)
Instructions
- Step 1:
