Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and egg yolk. Whisk until well blended; it should be smooth and creamy.
  • Emulsify the Dressing: While whisking, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Continue to whisk until the dressing is completely emulsified and silky in texture.
  • Add Cheese and Pepper: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and a dash of freshly ground black pepper. Set this flavorful dressing aside to let the flavors meld together.
  • Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat the Chicken: Coat each chicken breast piece in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, and press into the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F. Fry the chicken for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain and break into bite-sized pieces.
  • Assemble the Lettuce: Toss chopped romaine lettuce with a couple of tablespoons of your homemade Caesar dressing.
  • Warm the Tortilla: Gently warm the tortilla in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  • Build the Wrap: Spread 1 tablespoon of dressing down the center of the warm tortilla. Layer on dressed lettuce, crispy bacon, sliced chicken, and shaved Parmesan.
  • Roll It Up: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into a cylinder.
  • Toast the Wrap: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and toast for about 1–2 minutes. Flip and toast the other side.

Notes

It's best to keep components separate until ready to eat to ensure the wrap stays crispy.
