- Place warmed tortillas on clean work surface and distribute chicken mixture equally across the center of each wrap.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped romaine lettuce over the chicken mixture in each tortilla.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling, then fold in the side edges to prevent ingredients from falling out.
