- For the Wrap:
- 1 large burrito-size tortilla
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 4 bacon strips

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bacon
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on how crispy you like it.
- Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once shimmering, add the chicken breast.
- Sear for 4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Roast for 9-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Step 3: Make the Salad
- Rinse, dry, and chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- On a large cutting board, combine the lettuce, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese.
- Use a large knife to chop and mix everything together until well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Wrap
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Place the salad mixture down the center of the tortilla.
- Fold in the sides, then tightly roll the tortilla into a wrap.
Step 5: Toast the Wrap (Optional but Recommended!)
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil or a quick spray of cooking spray.
- Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap!
