- Scatter crunchy croutons across the filling for textural contrast and traditional Caesar salad essence.
- Position a large tortilla on a clean surface, placing the prepared chicken mixture precisely in the center of the wrap.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then carefully fold in the sides to create a secure envelope.
- Roll the tortilla tightly from bottom to top, applying gentle pressure to maintain a compact wrap.

- Toast wraps briefly in a skillet for added crispiness and improved texture before serving.
- Prepare filling ahead of time and store separately to maintain crisp lettuce and prevent soggy wraps.
