Instructions

Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded parmesan cheese. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the mixture and use tongs to toss everything together evenly, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
Add Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado to the salad mixture, distributing it evenly without mashing.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and layer the salad mixture in a row along the center of each tortilla. Optionally, tuck in the ends of the tortilla to prevent filling from falling out, then roll tightly to form wraps.
Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for best freshness and texture.

Notes

For homemade grilled chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 425°F). Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/8 tsp garlic powder. Sprinkle evenly on both sides of the chicken. Grill for about 4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Use warmed tortillas to make rolling easier and prevent tearing.
The anchovy paste in the dressing provides authentic Caesar flavor; however, it can be reduced for a milder taste.
Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats but can be omitted or substituted with cucumber slices for lower calories.
