Make the Salad Filling

- Toss gently with half of the Caesar dressing to coat.
Assemble the Wraps
- Warm one tortilla about 20 seconds in the microwave to soften.
- Spread a layer of basil pesto on the tortilla.
- Add salad mixture, grilled chicken, crumbled bacon, and cheese.
- Drizzle more Caesar dressing over the top.
- Fold sides and ends, then roll tightly to secure.

Serve

Notes
Use warm tortillas to roll without cracking. Toss avocado with a little lemon juice to slow browning. Don’t overfill for easier eating. Toast for a crisp finish. Substitute turkey bacon for a lighter option.
