  • Cook: Working in batches, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Carefully transfer your wrap to the pan, laying it chickpea-side down. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the chickpea layer is golden brown.

  • Assemble: Flip the chickpea wrap out of the pan (if the chickpea layer seems fragile, you can hold a plate or cutting board over the pan like a lid, then flip the whole contraption over so the wrap lands smoothly on the plate, no spatula required).
    Arrange 2 handfuls chopped romaine, 2 to 4 Tbsp Caesar dressing, and 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese in mounds on the wraps.

  • Serve: Fold the sides over the fillings, then roll up your wrap, tucking the side closet to you over the fillings and rolling away from you. Firmly squeeze the wrap to contain everything, then slice in half and enjoy!

Notes

Can these be made in advance? They can, but because the lettuce has dressing on it, it will only last a few hours before becoming wilted. The best way to prep the wraps (because they do make stellar meal prep!) is to keep the dressing stored separately and pour some on with each bite you take.
Easy to make vegan. Simply use a vegan Caesar dressing and vegan parmesan, and double-check that the tortillas are vegan.
