Seared chicken, crunchy romaine and croutons tuck into soft tortillas with a lemony yogurt-Parmesan dressing.

A thick yogurt dressing makes Chicken Caesar Wraps creamy without soaking the tortillas. Thin chicken cutlets cook quickly, then rest while the romaine, Parmesan and croutons are ready for tossing.

Dry the lettuce well and add the croutons just before rolling to preserve their crunch. This dressing skips anchovies and uses lemon, garlic and Dijon for its sharp, savory character.
