Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

½ cup Caesar dressing

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup croutons, crushed

4 large flour tortillas

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If using cooked chicken, ensure it is shredded or diced into bite-sized pieces. You can season it with a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.

    Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until all components are evenly coated.

      Add Crunch: Gently fold the crushed croutons into the mixture for added crunch. This will give your filling a nice texture and enhance the Caesar flavor.

        Assemble the Tortilla Pockets:

          - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.

            - Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Caesar mixture onto the center of the tortilla, leaving some space at the edges.

              - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up, securing the filling inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

                Cook the Wraps:

                  - Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

                    - Once the oil is shimmering, place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down into the skillet.

                      - Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

                        Serve: Remove the crispy tortilla pockets from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Cut each pocket in half diagonally and serve with extra Caesar dressing or lemon wedges on the side for dipping.
