Why you’ll love it
- Dress the salad, then wrap.
- Do not overfill or it splits.
- Anchovy is one fillet, not a tin.
- A large tortilla, warmed so it bends.
Ingredients
Ingredient amounts scale. Oven temperature and cook time do not. Salt, spices, and leaveners are a starting point after you scale. Taste and adjust.
Check the ingredients you still need, then add them. If nothing is checked, the full list is added. Saved on this device.
Instructions
- 1
Stir mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, anchovy, and garlic.
- 2
Toss the romaine, chicken, and Parmesan with the dressing.
- 3
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side.
- 4
Spoon the salad on each tortilla, fold the sides, and roll tight. Cut in half.
Pro tips
- If you skip the anchovy, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. The dressing will be milder.
- Pack the dressing separately if lunch is more than an hour away.
- Rotisserie chicken is the intended shortcut.
Easy substitutions
- Chicken
- Canned tuna, drained
- Tortilla
- Romaine leaves, as a no-bread plate

Chicken Pesto Wraps
Chicken is sliced thin and cooked in a skillet before it is tossed with pesto and rolled in tortillas. The pesto already brings salt and fat, so the chicken needs little more than pepper or the wrap tastes harsh.

Kitchen tools we love
Practical tools these recipes actually use. This is not a review roundup, and these are not paid placements. If affiliate links are added later, they will be labeled and disclosed.
A heavy 12-inch skillet
Most of the chicken and steak recipes are written for one pan that holds heat. Stainless or cast iron both work.
An air fryer with a real basket
The air-fryer recipes expect a single layer. A crowded basket steams instead of browning.
A half-sheet pan
Drumsticks, potatoes, sausage, and carrots all use one. A dark pan browns faster than a very shiny one.
A sharp chef’s knife
These recipes do not need a specialty blade. A sharp 8-inch knife is faster and safer than a dull one.
A large cutting board
Big enough that the onion and the raw chicken are not sharing the same puddle.
Dry cups and a liquid cup
Desserts in particular expect level dry measures and a separate cup for milk.
An instant-read thermometer
Use it for poultry, pork chops, and meatloaf. Color is a weak guide.
