Equipment

Method
 

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 1–2 hours if you have time (or just while you prep the bacon).
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the diced bacon until golden and crispy. No extra oil needed — the bacon will render beautifully. Remove and set aside. (watch video below!)
  3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet (wipe out excess grease if needed), heat a little oil. Add the chicken and cook for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Make the Caesar Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Parmesan, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Thin it out with a splash of water until creamy and pourable. (you can also skip this step & use your fav store-bought caesar dressing!)
  5. Mix the Salad Filling: In a large bowl, combine lettuce, cooked chicken, crispy bacon, Parmesan, croutons, and Caesar dressing. Toss everything well, then go in with a pizza cutter and chop the mixture finely — this is the secret to the perfect wrap filling!
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon in the Caesar mixture, and fold into a wrap.
  7. Crisp Them Up: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat with a bit of oil. Toast each wrap until golden and crispy on both sides. (watch video below!)
  8. Serve & Enjoy: Slice in half, serve warm with extra Caesar dressing on the side (and maybe fries, because why not?).
