In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the cubed bacon pieces until they are crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Set aside.
⏱️ 2 min

Drain most of the bacon fat from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan (if needed). Increase heat to medium-high and add the marinated chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter and chopped fresh herbs (parsley) to the pan. Stir until the butter has melted and coated the chicken. Remove from heat and set aside.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a mixing bowl, grate the fresh garlic cloves. Grate 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese into the bowl. Add the creamy base (mayonnaise/sour cream mixture), freshly squeezed lemon juice, and black pepper. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and well combined.

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, crispy bacon, croutons, and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
⏱️ 3 min

Pour the prepared Caesar dressing over all the salad ingredients. Using tongs, thoroughly toss the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with the Caesar dressing.

Lay a large tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Caesar salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla, leaving space around the edges.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Then, tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom up to form a compact burrito-style wrap.
⏱️ 1 min
- 11
Heat a clean pan (or the same pan used for chicken/bacon) over medium heat. Place the rolled wrap seam-side down in the pan and toast it for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
⏱️ 6 min

Remove the toasted wrap from the pan. Cut it in half diagonally. Serve immediately alongside seasoned fries and your favorite dipping sauce.
