- For the Wraps:
- 4 large tortillas (gluten-free optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a bowl or glass jar, combine mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and set aside.
- Make the Salad Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, diced avocado, and torn basil leaves. Toss gently with half of the Caesar dressing to coat.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm one tortilla in the microwave for about 20 seconds to soften. Spread a layer of basil pesto on top, then add a generous portion of the salad mixture, followed by grilled chicken, crumbled bacon, and cheese. Drizzle more Caesar dressing over the top. Fold the sides and ends of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly to secure all the ingredients.
- Cook the Wraps: If desired, heat a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Serve the wraps at room temperature or warm from the skillet. Pair with extra Caesar dressing or basil pesto for dipping.
