Here is one of my FAVORITE recipes It's actually something I had at a restaurant in Ellensburg when I was visiting some friends and loved it so much I decided to try making it at home.I almost hate to share it because when ever I make it people always think I put so much effort into and the truth is you can put the extra love in it but sometime I go the semi homemade route=)first I'll give the "extra love" (i.e. cheaper but a little more time consuming) version and then the "took 5 minutes" one

Chicken Cesar wraps(with love)

1-2 head romaine lettuce (depending on how many your feeding)
Cesar dressing to taste
Parmesan cheese (we use the cheap crap in the green bottle Kyan like on his noodles)
cooked chicken breast cut into strips or cubes (the amount real depends on many people your feeding. I generally use about 1 chicken breast per person because I like chicken in every bite!)
Tortillas

Mix Salad, chicken, cheese and dressing in a bowl. Put in on a tortilla wrap and enjoy (easy right)

Chicken Cesar Wraps (easier way)
1-2 bags Cesar Salad (it's the bag salad section and it comes with cheese, croutons and the dressing all in the bag. We buy the super Cesar or something like that, because the cheese is better)
A couple pieces of chicken from the deli at the grocery store take chicken off the bone(or you can cook your own at home we do that too)

Mix in all together and serve on a tortilla=) Yum it's so goo you won't be sad you tried it!!
