Ingredients
  

2 cups chilled cooked rotini pasta

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works beautifully)

1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup Caesar dressing (adjust to your taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas or spinach wraps

Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken and Pasta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled rotini pasta and the shredded chicken. If using rotisserie chicken, ensure it is completely shredded into bite-sized pieces for a better texture in each wrap.

    Combine the Vegetables: Add the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese to the chicken and pasta mixture. Gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.

      Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the combined mixture. Toss everything together until all components are well-coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Feel free to add more dressing if you desire a creamier flavor.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a quarter of the chicken Caesar pasta mixture into the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to secure the filling.

          Repeat for Remaining Wraps: Continue the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all wraps are prepared.

            Chill and Serve: Once all wraps are assembled, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

              Garnish and Present: When ready to serve, unwrap the chilled wraps, slice them in half diagonally, and arrange them on a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and garnish with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
