Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, Romaine, arugula, grape tomatoes, cucumber, Parmesan cheese, and crispy pancetta.
Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss with tongs until everything is evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture down the center of each warmed tortilla. Roll tightly, tucking in the ends as you go.
Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately — creamy, crunchy, smoky, and fresh all at once.

Notes

Erren's Top Tips

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
Let the pancetta cool before tossing so it stays crispy.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts into the dressing better than pre-shredded cheese.
Pat rotisserie chicken dry with paper towels if it's especially juicy.
Toss just before serving for the freshest texture.
Wrap tightly in parchment before refrigerating for grab-and-go lunches.

Variations & Add-Ins

Swap pancetta for crispy bacon.
Add sliced avocado for extra creaminess.
Use grilled shrimp instead of chicken.
Add sliced red onion for more bite.
Mix in chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Add roasted red peppers for sweetness.
Try spinach instead of arugula.
Add homemade croutons for extra crunch if serving as a salad.

Storage & Freezing

Refrigerator

Fully assembled wraps are best enjoyed within 24 hours, although the filling will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

For meal prep, store the filling separately from the tortillas and assemble just before eating.

Freezing

Not recommended. The lettuce and dressing lose their texture after thawing.
