Instructions:
- Start by cooking the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until they are crispy. Once cooked, place them on a paper towel to drain excess fat and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

- Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, chopped lettuce, crumbled bacon, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the Caesar salad dressing over the mixture. Use a spoon or tongs to toss until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon a quarter of the chicken Caesar mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to the top to make a wrap. Be sure to roll it tightly, ensuring none of the filling spills out.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken Caesar mixture.
- Cut each wrap in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. These wraps can be enjoyed on their own or paired with your favorite side dish.
- For an added crunch, you can lightly toast the assembled wraps in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
