# Preparation Steps:

01 - Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. In a bowl, combine chicken with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until coated. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Sauté chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly charred. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
02 - In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes if using, until lettuce is well coated. Add croutons and gently combine.
03 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Lay each tortilla flat. Spoon Caesar salad mixture down the center. Evenly add Cajun chicken strips atop the salad. Sprinkle with extra parmesan and freshly ground black pepper, if desired. Fold sides inward and roll up tightly to form a wrap.
04 - Enjoy immediately or wrap each in parchment for takeaway meals.
