How to Make Chicken Caesar Wraps

Mix the Filling:

Warm the Tortillas:
Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet for 15–30 seconds per side (or microwave between paper towels for 15–30 seconds) until soft and pliable. Keep warm under a towel.

Assemble the Wraps:

Absolutely—rotisserie, grilled, or leftover roasted chicken all work perfectly.
