Method
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until golden with no pink inside. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Stir the mayonnaise, lemon juice and half the Parmesan together with some black pepper.
Lay the tortillas flat, add the lettuce, chicken and dressing down the middle and scatter over the rest of the Parmesan.
Fold in the sides, roll up tightly and cut each wrap in half.
Cook the chicken until there is no pink inside and the juices run clear. Making them for later? Cool the chicken first, keep the wraps in the fridge and eat within 2 days.
