directions
- Prepare Parmesan Fries: Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Toss fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Assemble Wrap Filling: In a large bowl, toss lettuce, grilled chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and crushed croutons until evenly coated.

- Serve: Plate wraps with Parmesan fries, extra Caesar dressing for dipping, and lemon wedges.
Servings and timing
- Servings: Makes approximately 4 wraps, depending on filling. (The Mom 100, Pudge Factor, Hungry Cooks Kitchen, Simply Recipes)
- Prep time: About 10–20 minutes (including slicing, tossing, and oven prep) (The Mom 100, All the Healthy Things).
- Cook time: Fries take 25–30 minutes, plus a few minutes for assembling the wraps.
- Total time: Approximately 35–50 minutes, depending on overlapping tasks.
storage/reheating
- Make‑ahead strategy: Store components separately—keep chicken, lettuce, and croutons in the fridge until ready to assemble to prevent sogginess. (Budget Bytes)
- Wrap storage: Assembled wraps wrapped tightly and refrigerated will stay fresh for up to 2 days before becoming soggy. (Simply Recipes, Hungry Cooks Kitchen, The Diary of a Real Housewife)
- Reheating tips: If you prefer warm chicken, reheat it separately on the stovetop or microwave before mixing. If reheating the whole wrap, remove lettuce and cold ingredients first and warm in an oven or toaster oven at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 5–10 minutes. Add cold ingredients back afterward.

FAQs

Remove lettuce and cold elements, reheat the wrap in the oven or toaster oven, then reassemble. (Comfort Food at Home, Maja’s Recipes)
4. Can I prepare the fries ahead?
You can roast the fries earlier and reheat them in the oven to crisp them up before serving.
5. Any healthier variations?
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas, and opt for lighter Caesar dressing or yogurt-based alternatives. (All the Healthy Things)
6. What other proteins work?
Shrimp, turkey, or even shredded rotisserie chicken work well. (Culinary Hill)
7. How to keep croutons crunchy?
Add them just before assembling to avoid sogginess. (Hungry Cooks Kitchen)

Fold bottom edge over filling, bring in sides, then roll tightly—securing with a toothpick if needed. (Budget Bytes, Fed & Fit)
