Let's cook

  1. Use the anchovies

    Mash the anchovies with the garlic into a paste. This is what makes a Caesar taste like a Caesar — it will not taste fishy, just deeply savoury.

    💡

    Skipping the anchovies is why homemade Caesar dressing usually tastes flat.

  2. Make the dressing

    Whisk the anchovy paste with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, half the parmesan, and plenty of black pepper.

  3. Cook the chicken

    Season and sear the chicken in oil for 6 minutes a side until 165°F internal. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

  4. Dress the lettuce only

    Toss the shredded romaine with the dressing just before assembling. Dressed lettuce goes limp within minutes.

  5. Roll tight

    Warm the tortillas briefly, lay the filling slightly below centre, fold in the sides, and roll firmly. Cut on the diagonal.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

For packed lunches, keep the dressing separate and combine at the last minute, or the wrap turns soggy. Rotisserie chicken makes this a five-minute assembly job.

  • Vegetarian: Crispy chickpeas or halloumi in place of the chicken; use a vegetarian Worcestershire and skip the anchovy.
  • Lighter: Swap half the mayonnaise for Greek yoghurt.
  • Salad version: Skip the wrap entirely and serve as a classic Caesar.
