Pin It All the flavors of a classic Caesar salad wrapped up with juicy chicken and crunchy croutons for a fresh, satisfying lunch or dinner.
I love making these wraps because they come together quickly and please the whole family every time.

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